           First, I would like to thank Nels Anderson for making such
        a fine game in Mah Jongg 3.3 and for including his great Tile
        Maker utility, which has given me the opportunity, as well as
        the necessary tools, for this bit of artistic(?) expression.

        Inspiration & disclaimer:

           Some of the most colorful wildlife in the Detroit area has
        always been of the four-wheeled variety. The automobile manu-
        facturers have tried for decades, with varying degrees of suc-
        ess, to capture our imagination with their inspired creations.
           I thought that some of the artwork that they have provided
        would make an attractive and interesting set of tiles for Mah
        Jongg. The accompanying CARS1.TIL is the result of my inspir-
        ation, and includes corporate trademarks as well as some of my
        favorite auto-related graphics and logos from the past thirty-
        odd years.
           As I expect to make no money from this endeavor, I neither
        sought nor was I granted permission to reproduce any of the
        items included. I've attempted to represent all works as ac-
        curately as possible, but will admit taking a certain amount
        of artistic license for the purpose of contrast and clarity.

        Description:

           The tiles in this set don't exactly follow the original Mah
        Jongg suits. The first thirty are made up of the logos, etc.
        mentioned above and are meant to replace the suits of bamboo,
        dots, characters, and dragons. The shift patterns, traffic
        signs, and auto parts/accessories replace the suits of winds,
        seasons, and flowers, respectively. The signs and auto parts
        tiles are wild within their own suit.


        The following tiles are included in this set:
