SELF)in disbelief. I do not believe we as a group of grown persons
(owning or does' the car own us?) put up with these stupid little
messes of displaced grease mongers, a bunch of spare parts sometimes
flowing in traffic in some sort of pattern. OH UGH!!!!. BUT goawd how i
like self inflicted pain.Specially if its a small cutesy forgein(sp) car
. OIL and Water sometime i aughter leave you next to the side of the
road, lQQking for another load to repair. oh and loose my hair,,,,not
without my fair,, lady to back me when i'm wet with OIL and Water..
