Hear Here!  Ear ere!  

I use QuickCar to customize all the cars I ever drive.  I prefer to
spend a little effort *once* rather than accept the universally-
agreed-and-detested "standard" enforced by the Automobile Nazis.

Imagine having all cars operate the same way, right off the lot?  What
would be the point of having different models for sale if they are all
the same anyway?  I want to engineer my own car when I sit in it for
the first time.  This notion that streering wheels or--God
forbid--brakes have to be the same from car to car is something only
fascists and other reactionaries could want.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist...  

Yes, the saying is "Hear Hear!", and one more thing, I *do* use
QuickKeys and I like it.)
