RE: Shift Linkage

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

heheh I don't let anyone drive the car into a garage, I drive it
in, they work on it I drive it out. Never been an issue, not even
at the discount tire shop, sears, AAA mufflers. no one argues, I
just smile en they ask for the keys and nod.. "if you don't mind,
I'd rather I drive the car in" you understand, its a classic car,
and your mechanic don't use plastics on the seats. unless you
rather pay the cleaning bill of the interior of the car?" that
usually shut them up and they usually answer with a garage door
number, and since I usually go back where I find good service, they
are used to me, and don't even ask anymore. Oil and Lube, heheh I
do it myself. (all of it).
