Newbie question:

Is synthetic muffler grease better than dino muffler grease? Should I use Mobil 1 muffler grease?

You saw what happened to Howard Dean's muffler? That's what happens with the cheap dino grease!

If you don't want to be embarrassed on national TV with muffler blowouts... you gotta use the good stuff!

-------

In an ironic twist to Howard's mufler blowout, several people in a small Vermont town have reported seeing the ex-Governor working at the local Jiffy Lube.... you guessed it: down in the pit, packing customer's mufflers with grease!

Poor Howard Dean....

I'll trade my left-handed ratchet for those fast electrons. The metric bolt holes are on sale this week, by the cash register and the next item over from the metric wait-a-bits.

Are those gin-yoo-wine OEM or are they Acme bolt holes?

Gin-yoo-wine OEM bolt holes would be at the dealer. Acme bolt holes are sold by your genuine ACME representative Wile Coyote. The ones I saw on sale are just the plain Jane metric bolt holes. Sorry, but I thought everybody knew the difference. And Wile Coyote sells fuel additive that will make your diesel MB go like a rocket sled on rails, if you're interested.

ACME hole company went out of businees in the virtual hole boom of 2000. They where not able to compete with the low cost "hole in a bottle" campaign. When that fizzled because of quality issues, ACME Hole company had already gone bust.Now the only place you can by ACME bolt holes is from the local elbow grease distributor or on EBAY. Watch out for fake holes though. I bought a dozen and none of them work.

ACME did go out of business in 2000 but they are now back in business, due to a merger between C.R. and R.R. Wile Coyote now cart-pools with Winnie Pooh to save on Eyeore's fuel cost. Winnie's a nice fellow. He gave me a big jar of yellow muffler grease for half price just so he could show me the proper way to get it out of the jar. These guys are like Snap-On and MAC. All you have to do is stand outside your door and yell out "Christophhhher! Christophhhhher Rrrrrobin!" Be patient, because Eyeore's a diesel and Pooh doesn't want to give him an Italian tuneup because he might blow off his tail.

whunter, you'd better get somebody to close this thread before it degenerates into silly foolishness.
