Hey Man. it is GOOD to stick with that at which you are best. We would
have to have 7 committees, 11 elections, and 47 permits before we could
have a pig roast down here.:) We do committees and studies very well; no
results, just lots of studies.

Yeah, we have the same problem here. It is so hard to get these
criminals to understand that it is for their own good. :) I think our
criminals are smarter than our politicians--oh wait, they are the same
crowd down here.

Because some states, California comes to mind, refuse to let a refinery
or powerplant be built in the state. I work for a gas pipeline company,
and you would not believe the hell we go through just to put in a
pipeline in states like New Jersey. They all want the product, but they
want someone
I'm cool with that. Broadening my horizons and all that...

Hey now! I drove a Niva for about 30 days in Cairo, Egypt, and had no
problems at all. That was the first (and last) time I ever saw one. I
was told they were based on a Fiat design. They reminded me of a Suzuki

Sounds like the transmission filter is getting plugged. Try changing the
transmission filter and fluid. Don't forget to drain the torque
converter. BTW, if you take it to a transmission shop they will say you
need a rebuild (that's their job). Either do it yourself or find a shop
you really trust.
I agree with you 100 percent. I was raised in a house with loaded guns
available all the time, and we never played with them. We were taught
what guns could do. We watched livestock and game die from a gunshot, so
the danger was impressed on us. Nowadays, folks don't want to
traumatize their kids,
Royce is right. Houston does not play second fiddle to anyone when it
comes to political prostitutes, graft, and corruption.

I agree, but why should the franchise owners pay for something they can
get for free by conning gullible citizens.
BTW, Houston city government is now getting in the business of building
hotels for enterprising businessmen. I told you we would not be
outdone by anyone.

Good plan. Only problem we have here is that companies hassle you if you
have a weapon in the parking lot. It does not matter that it is locked
in the glove compartment; they consider it having a weapon on company
property. BTW, there have been several abductions and rapes in our
parking garage in

DO NOT bypass the neutral safety switch. It is just that: a SAFETY
switch to prevent you starting the car while it is in gear. You, someone
you love could be severely injured.
They are relatively easy to change; I have done it on an '81 300D.

You have pissed off the master computer by your insensitive lack of

I am not an expert on this subject, but I do not see how you can damage
the transmission since it is not connected mechanically to the engine.

I read the procedure somewhere, but I do not remember where. Basically, it went
like this:
1. Disconnect return line from PS system to reservoir and connect hose long
enough to reach suitable container for draining fluid.
2. Drain as much fluid as possible from reservoir and system.
3. Remove
