Truly addicted. Such a shame. He's got the preventive maintenance syndrome and the whole works. Thinks $380.00 is chump change to keep his baby bus rolling. Got plans on the next $450.00 he's going to spend on his clutch assembly. That baby has to be costing you $4.00 for every mile you've driven it. I'll be watching for that White Westy with a plastic bag being dropped out the window at 70 mph.
