  18. Heh. This is the same Oldsmobile which has an ad going "Until now,
  19. most people have thought that imports possess a higher ***level of
  20. engineering*** than domestics"...
  21.  
  22. Is that something like a "degree of difficulty" in diving? Is the idea
  23. that if the "level of engineering" is higher, they can get equal
  24. credit if they f**k it up anyway?
