You might think it's Myth but Wright now, there is probably a Poole is your
combustion chamber waiting to be ignited. It's Nat your day. Just
kidding. If you were closer to No. California, I'd come a running with my
ugly half van/half pick-up truck contraption to let you use my phone to
call AAA.

If you weren't such a noob, you'd know these wonderful conveyances require a
trailer full of spares when driving far away from the normal pipeline.
That's why I drive my Doka. Throw all the parts you need in the cargo bed.

OK, I'll stop now.

Cheers,
