Wow jeff, you're as sharp as your car

I'm registering the car tomorrow, then I can take it to a garage for an oil and trans fluid change Tuesday morning. While they've got it, I'll have them look everything over and quote "List #1"

I hate to break it to you but that's not a squirrel, it appears to be a baby Chupacabra

Chris you should be smiling! Your neighbor's daughter did a good job helping you pick the right pair. They make you look very "in" and suit you quite well. I wish my neighbor would have taken someone like her along when he needed to pick out a new pair of glasses a few weeks ago. It's sooo...

Originally Posted By: TooManyWheels Another thing - the ported vacuum switch (on the thermostat housting, which keeps the timing from advancing until the engine is warm) has been disconnected. That is an easy fix, just requires another length of vacuum hose. Thanks for your help Lisa

Vegetable oil would be better than what went into my lawn mower a few summers back. While pretending to do maintenance, my son (who was 4 at the time), mixed up a cup of runny mud and poured it in. Lisa :-)
