Well, Sergeant is a French term. Basically meaning a servant soldier in
charge of lesser soldiers( subservient ot knight status in the british
Isles) more of a role than a rank in pre- middle age times- evolved into a
rank of officer whom was not commissioned but could be conscripted
instead. So the "Sarge' comes full circle, eh misseur?

A: My '88 Comanche (6" lifted daily driver with US built AMC 6) sports a US
flag for a headliner (I got it that way) which led to it being named Sarge,
but the irony of the French EFI and transmission that keeps running isn't
lost on me. (Mon Dieu!)


"... B & E Transmission in San
" Francisco, ordered pens that had ...the
" phrase "Buy American" on them. They were upset that they also said
" "Made in Germany".

boy that's gotta hurt...

when 9/11 happened a local fellow got his car in the papers with a
very patriotic red/white/blue stars-'n-bars paint job.

the car was a new beetle.  nobody mentioned the irony.
