    Those that have contacts inside U.S. automakers?

    ford is yanking us around so bad, i'd never buy one just out of spite. nor a mazda, volvo, etc... and i can get a pretty good supplier discount. they steal our designs, change them enough to get around the patent, then use it to beat us down on price. steel prices are high right now, and ford...

    well, now that i've uglified my engine, i'll tell you what not to do. if you go up a post or two, you'll see that i said "warm" engine?! too warm; spotted everything up. badly. white funk all over my block. let your engine cool. or be cold. not hot, or warm, or tepid.

    Anybody ever mix wax ?
