Where do I hook a tow strap? There is no screw-in receptacle in the bumper under the trim that I could find in a dark parking lot, and no steel loops welded to the bumper mounts like I believe the cars with the old valance used. The car is at a grocery store less than a mile from my house -- too f@@kin' close to call a tow truck, too far to push. Looks like now is the time to replace that slipping clutch... TIA.

Pry open the cap and you will find a threaded sleeve.

Fix-A-Flat? " That had also come to mind, but I hate the sh*t. I used to work in a bike shop and it was a rude surprise when someone's tire would ejaculate all over you. However, in this case it might be just the ticket. I've wondered if I would be able to swirl the stuff in the tire enough to get it into the bead - - but I can give it a shot. The bill I have for the tahrs is dated '96 - so they've been on there for a while. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2003 19:34:00 -0700 From: donna seeley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [uuc] GOD, I love my wife Does Dennis have an available brother?

No brother, alas. And no, my wife does not have an *available* sister (her sister, btw, has absolutely no interest in cars). And, dear Donna, while it might be great fun to have someone on the side, so to speak, I have a tough enough time keeping my wife happy ("honey, I think we need a new set of slicks on the 355, the rear end got a bit loose when I was cranking it up past the toe of of the boot").... :-) vty, - --Dennis - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of donna seeley Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 10:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [uuc] GOD, I love my wife Does Dennis have an available brother?
