Yeah, and sometimes I have to wonder about some of the logic
involved in placing impulse items on the displays of standard
items. e.g. disposable diapers near the beer. The obvious
conclusion would be that either the diapers are supersized or
the kid is drinking beer...but in fact allegedly folks who
drop in quick to buy beer often do so because there are kids
at home or in the car doing what kids do when fed.

Well, yup, I used to have to go out for diapers and did a beer run at
the same time. Here in most of Canada we have to go to different stores
for that.
That is aimed at new fathers for sure, and I would have bought them
right there if I could have for sure.
LOL!

Dave I notice you designate your Sahara as a 4.0. Is there an option in
Europe to get Sahara with a diesel powerplant?
