Well, we could always offer them positions in the military where they
could get educations and later assistance and a shot at citizenship, and
they could go down to the border and help keep out the illegals
oops, wait, nevermind.
Aslo, I am sure Mexico has excellent colleges and free
You may need to pull start the car if possible. Check the brakes before you
pull start. If you can't pull start, have an extra charged battery and a set
of heavy duty jumper cables along because you will probably need to start it

I must admit that I did not use the word scrofulous. I was however
pleased to learn that word and used it recently in a brief. The judge

Yeah, we figured out how to RR a 108/114/115 blower motor in less than 30

If you still can't find a deal, I have two club-cab F-250s for sale.
Both have the IHC diesel. One is a 1992 with a 5-speed; the other is a
1995 with an automatic (E4OD). These are both beat up work trucks, but
they run fine. I just put a clutch in the 1992 and a used transmission
in the 1995.
