Now wait a darned second, Bob! I didn't see a smiley there! I'm definitely less mechanically adept than my parrot, but I *love* my bus, and I'm very willing invest the money necessary to let my mechanic care for it. Just because I don't have the time necessary to learn the mechanics' trade, doesn't mean that I will let my bus rot.
