Hi All,

It seems that her car is named after a Cajun friend back home.  It is
pronounced Jackie, just spelled weird.  She grew up in Texas and this girl was
a friend.

Besides, If we put Tonneau's on our cars.  Isn't that french too.  Hmmmm. :~o

Rick

No tell'n what's on the mind of a lady.  I can't figure them out and have quit
trying.
