Default Kidnapped !!!!!!!!!!!

With all the talk about the new '07 steering wheel, it is with deep regret that I bring this to the forum's attention.

This is indeed a sad day for '05 owners.

I know its tough, but you 2005 owners just need to accept the fact that the Pilsbury Doughboy is gone for ever! Its time to move on.

I am 100% fine with my doughboy and think the '07 looks like an anorexic steering wheel. Dainty and scrawny. Something taken directly from a toy car.

2005 is big and beautiful. OK I would love to have the controls.

I think I found where they got the design idea for the 07 steering wheel:

Gee, that's up in Stan's part of the country - and I know how much he likes his Doughboy steering wheel. Maybe he wanted it

I'm not at liberty to discuss this case while there's an ongoing investigation. All I can say at this point is that it doesn't appear to be terrorist related. In the meantime, I have installed 24 hour surveillance around my steering wheel.

I just hope that they aren't torturing him. I, I just remember what they did to Joe Camel. I understand that Joe had to go......, but I liked him. .
