Author: dresden@tiac.net
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 03:31:33 GMT
Got curious and checked my owner's manual...it states fuel capacity for my daily (and only, for now) driver as being 13.2 US gallons. Which is odd, since from empty it never seems to take more than t

I could call the police, but I really don't think they would find it part of their jurisdiction. It probably is a pump malfunction of some sort, probably not intentionally induced (although continui

I don't remember the name of it, but it's a Mobil station right next to a McDonald's at the Sagamore (rt.6) bridge rotary. What's the name of that rip-off place? I would bet there was

I agree, but even common internet jargon, or car jargon, sometimes confuses me. The crack of doom has been discussed on the list before, and many probably assume everyone already knows what it is. I

Trevor, That's pretty much the plan...to take the doors off and take them to a friend who has a welding rig available, and to weld what I've begun referring to as "Trevor's COD-piece" behind the hol
