my " x boss " drove a miata, 1 time my clutch cable on
my bug frayed and would in-gauge looked under and said oh
i need to drive this home early before the traffic starts
riding the clutch would be hell in traffic, HIS RESPONSE
take it to the gas staion and have them do the work, duh
man its a 66 bug the last thing i want is some half wit
working on what i could do at home with some time and
less $$, but he was more worried about me warming my office
seat to keep him a job. TODAY nobody wants to understand
the car they drive or is it just cars today are not made to work on. * go figure *

ps 1 day after getting laid-off i was driving hwy 17 in my bug with my 2 little girls and wife and I came up on that
miata and it was my old boss with his wife, anyway I toldmy wife don't even look over were going to pass him, he looked
like a deer driving a carny ride..  my bug isnt all restro'd
out its just simple and runs stock looking.

simple man or try's to be
Joe
