         YO !  I was not going to get in on this until this reply Chris.  
WHOA !  I'm a mechanic, been so for many years, and I was not in anyway offen
ded by Ben's remarks.  In fact I feel much the same as he does and IT'S THE 
MAJOR REASON I BECAME A MECHANIC !  So maybe your offended 'cause your on the 
other side ?  I don't know you nor what kind of mechanic you are so chill out 
and go fix some Vanagons.  My garage if full and I'm so busy I have no idea 
why I'm spending time reading this List anyways.  Time out !  If you wanna 
meet Ben and I, come on out to <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BusFusion/bfhome.htm">BusFusion</A> and we'll buy U a beer and teach you 
some French !  You should hear mine !  Ha !
