Rather than being subjected to continuing insults from "sofakingdom", I've removed my post.

I have not the vaguest clue...

But I can tell you this much: I can swap out the fuel pump in one of these cars in less than 15 minutes, tow-in to drive-out.

If it's worth $200, I need to quit my day job where I do honest work that contributes to the well-being of society, and start taking advantage of lazy people.

OK; I'll start taking advantage of "inept" people instead. That's a bit more .... ethical, don't you think?

Insults?

I'm trying to get you UP OFF YOUR BUTT and out into doing something USEFUL on behalf of YOURSELF. Something EASY at that, something to "reniforce your self-image" as it were.

If that's "insulting", I'm on the wrong planet. This must be the one I've come across in my travels that's filled with "alternate winners" and "social promotions" and children whose "emotional needs" aren't being properly met without enough "positive reinforcement" even though they won't put forth any effort on their own behalf, then they grow up (I use the term loosely ... "get older" would be more accurate) and wonder why it is that some other people around them are successful while they languish in obscurity, and vote themselves largesse out of the public treasury so they can leach off of those of us who ARE willing to WORK. What a place.

Time to quit the whining and get up off the couch and DO SOMETHING for yourself, instead of .... what you're doing now.
