This is the kind of stuff that makes the list valuable to me. From hints to bitter experience to diatribe to agreed value, whatever I need to know to help keep the van going or to help resurrect it after a catastrophe (heaven forbid), I'll read a post on it and decide for myself if it is useful to me. You folks are a wealth of knowledge...and opinion. I accept both and filter accordingly.

If you are so sure of the value than you shouldn't have any problem finding a direct replacement in the same condition, buying it and delivering it to me." They tried to ignore that demand but finally had to respond when I wouldn't talk about anything else. |
