What I said above was my own professional experience. Ive been a
mechanic, probably longer than you've been alive. And in my time as a
mechanic, ive never seen this happen on any vehicle. Granted I havent had
to work on POS cars yet so my experience is limited to high end equipment
up until 98 when I went to work as a heavy equipment mechanic. Even then,
I have never seen this scenerio happen. Its also not to say that it CANT
happen, it certainly can. Anything is possible. I believe it to be rare
and especially when dealing with WCVW's not the problem. 

Other than your dying desire to find anything whatsoever to pick apart on
my posts, I cant see anywhere on my above statement that is either an
assumption (other than the one you make) nor "dangerous" or incorrect.
Without the benefit of seeing the car, I believe my reply to be right on
the money. Please think just a little before you speak out in the future.
Your trifle replies are beginning to bore me.
