I haven't seen the link to the Christmas Story with the red VW bus, which breaks down on Christmas Eve.  Dang it, I can't remember the name ot the storyteller. Bob? Famous early VW rebuilder and fixer.  On the tip of my tongue, but I can't read it backwards in the mirror.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and the very best of the New Year to all my list friends (that's all of you). Hope it is a Happy, Healthy, and prosperous one for All.

P.S. I cleaned off the crappy CV boot and it was fine, so no need to know the best vendor for them.  Now I wonder what crapped it up.
