Deeeja Vu all over again.
This thread is dumb enough without repeating the first posts all over again.
Ron/Bob: why don't you put it over in Ramblings where it will feel right at home? I think it has run its course anyway.
BTW, I'm Caesarian.

Wow. Can I ask you about your your buying experience? To my knowledge, the TL is not being sold in Europe. Were there any mods required by Hungarians to comply with local standards? Was it expensive to have the car ship over to Europe? Also, I know that gas in Europe has much higher octane numbers (93 is Premium in the US and would be considered the low end in Europe, where 98 or 100 octane are common). What gas do you put in your TL? Were the rear red blinkers a problem for Hungarian police?

Jewish, Israeli, Hebrew, all are basically the same. On a side note, the thing I don't understand is that we are trying to have world peace by using force. The LAST step of world peace would be to try and get Israel and Palestine to stop their mutli millenium battle over the holy area. Fighting politically is one thing, but religious battle is a whole other level.

Jewish, Israeli and Hebrew are really not all the same.
Hebrew used to be considered a race . . . and some people would still argues that Jews are a
separate race. (My grandfather's passport from the 1920s shows race as Hebrew).
Today, Hebrew usually refers to the language spoken in Israel and in Jewish prayers. Prior to
Israel becoming a state, Hebrew was almost a dead language . . . like Latin.
Israeli refers to a citizen of Israel. While I could theoretically make 'Aliyah' and move to Israel
and become a citizen, I won't. I consider myself American.

I thought "hebrews" were considered direct descendants of the man and Jews were from Jerusalem because this was before the whole official nation of Israel declaration. Then you throw in the equation of Jews having their own twist with Hanukah (spelling?) and such. Just a common misconception that could vary depending on religious standpoint. I still don't understand. So Rachel, are you Jewish as in nationality or region? or both?
EDIT: TL love. You don't have be any special ethnicity or religion to realize what a great car the TL is.

Nightrider, now you have me all confused! LOL
For me, and I only speak for myself, I consider Judiasm a
religion . . . and I'm most definitely American. While I'd like
to visit Israel someday (when it's a bit safer) I have no intention
of ever moving there.
And I love my TL!! (AM/Ebony/5AT/Navi)

Just wanted everyone to know that I am what everybody considers Hispanic (Spanish Descent). This is my first post. I am not a TL owner yet but my car is on it's way. I live in Denver, Colorado and I am a Navy Recruiter here. I ordered a Anthracite, Quartz, Navi and Manual.
