Is this rec.autos?

Q.Does anyone know whether the NADA blue book of used car prices is available anywhere online? It seems as if it should be. Also, can anyone tell me if the damned book is realy blue? Why?

Terry Wood is the main culprit here, but others now tell people with off-topic, or stupid comments to take them to rec.auto, and I wonder how many people do?

Perhaps we should invent one, and send it to rec.auto?
