Heh. That? Geld = "money", sauger = "sucker". I named it that after its
first $500 repair, and it remained appropriate up through the engine
replacement. Now it only sucks gas and oil.

Don't be afraid, John, it's only a  #@&%$  van!


Yeah. I mostly worry about my mechanical work. I know what I'm doing, but
when I get tired I forget things. After installing my Boston Engine rebuilt
I actually had the key in the ignition and turned to ON before I remembered
I hadn't put oil in yet. The first 1000 miles after installing the new
engine, transmission, hoses, etc. were nerve wracking. The longer it goes
without blowing up, the better I feel.
