@jesmed I had no idea of the Nauga history. So if a Nauga applies for a job, do you have to give them preference or risk being sued?

Naaa, if a pig applies for a job, you don’t need to accommodate him. BTW, if you put lipstick on a nauga, is it still a nauga?

As a used car manager I say Honda Toyota are your best bet. In that price point you looking at a 2005 with 90-130k miles. You can find this car at a dealer and I you do they usually are decent cars we don’t like to keep garbage that will create angry customers. Go to [dealerrater.com](http://dealerrater.com) and look at the reviews of Honda or Toyota dealerships in your area. Be careful on craigslist. If you find a car on craigslist or a mom and pop shop you will want to run a carfax a lot of them will have major accidents or total losses.

Dealers should provide you with a carfax upon request.

Also don’t be afraid if there is an accident/damage report sometimes that can be the slightest thing of reprinting a door from being keyed! Hope this helps.

@db4690 Naugahyde was made by Naugatuck Chemicals and was a very sturdy vinyl type material. My school buddy worked for the company a couple of summers.

Naming materials is tricky. My ski boots are made from “Nubuck”, a specially treated leather that doesnot absorb water readily. Of course I have to treat them with Nubuck wax every so often. Nubuck is a registered trade mark.
