pretty great reply Mike.
those two other pictures were interesting as well.
as to the doofus this is about, all i can say is : "high performance car, low performance driver"..............[insert your preferred descriptive words here]
if it were me, and the problem were known, i would not drive the car until it was fixed.
reminds me of a guy that stopped over one day. he has a "starskey and hutch" torino.
he said the steering was acting funny, so he took it out to the interstate to see if it still happened at high speed.
one look under the hood, and i found the rag joint from the column to the box had just a TINY piece of rubber holding it together !
after seeing that, i told him he was an a$$ for driving his car that way !
luckily, the local parts place had a joint in stock, and he didn't leave until i fixed it for him. this isn't the first time this guy pulled stupid stunts.
for some reason, he thinks you need 17 floor mats to "protect" the carpet, then says "occasionally" he has to rearrange them so the gas pedal doesn't stick............
good grief..........
