Re: [Chrysler300] Dot 3 / Dot 5

[c300c@xxxxxxx]

Ok, Mike, Ron and the anonymous person who answered me,
 
Consider me enlightened, as I now see many (some) in this group are so  
narrow minded as to pounce on a slip of the tongue from some source in the  
distant  past and consider it "political". No politics involved in Chrysler  
and Fiat merging, is there?
 
I agree this listserver is for discussions of our 300s and occasionally  
other related Mopars, but is not a sounding board for some to crucify another  
member for a slight slip-up.
 
If you are in this thin-skinned or narrow minded bunch, just please keep  
your mouth shut and your keyboard silent if your message doesn't concern  
Chrysler 300s.
 
Thank you, Gary Hagy

It is the 55 states...Obama has on several occasions referred to the US  as

there are 57.  The reference was to 55 states which I think was meant to  be 
57..That's it..

Ok, ok, ok. I've read all the references to "political opinions" in  this 
email and after reading it for the umpteenth time, I fail to find  any 
political references. Please enlighten me or shut up.

300'ly,  Gary Hagy
