[Magdalen] The Donald Again.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

perfection in re roads.... so many things are great when your country is 
smaller than many of our states....

...and one of the aspects of the recent V W fiasco regarding emissions 
cheating, some in my area have commented is that many Europeans can not even 
conceive of the kind of distance driving many Americans actually do - for 
work/business and for leisure travel.  And the long hours people often put 
in driving long distances.... taking much more of a toll on a car than in 
smaller countries and traveling shorter distances.
