Smart college students do not need Image Flipper Film!

This comes in very handy during exam week, when most students are so stressed that they are likely to forget where they are supposed to go.

There was a young man who got A's all his exams at Princeton, but failed three courses --- because he was enrolled at Yale. Now he's doing better since he checks out his rear view mirror every few minutes. He lives in the White House.

Try it sometime. You'll be very pleasantly surprised by how the women react to that KY Muffler sound... Be sure and let all of us know it works for you.
i use the ky on the turbo and it sounds more like "uhhhhhhhhh" uhhhhhhhhh" "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". better than the honda sound.

i heard the last bottles of m.i were lost when planning for the invasion of canada back in the '20's.

i have some extra braking zone available if someone can take the full impact zones off my hands. the impact zones work well with various kinds of well torqued machinery.

I was finally able to finish my muffler bearing lubrication project! From now on, no more messing with silly Zerk fittings to find, clean and grease with a greasegun that's always out of grease when you need it most!
From now on, you can fill your muffler bearing chamber with high quality Bison Oil. The camber is big enough to hold 4 quarts, and should last at least a million miles, or until you put it up for sale on eBay.
Order now!

Actually, I happen to have imported a huge quantity of Muffler Grease for a client who died before paying for it. I am willing to sell it at a loss. This is Premium Synthetic Muffler Grease. It looks like regular grease but is totally different. The cost is usually about 4 or 5 times regular grease. However, if you take advantage of the offer and order today, for every gallon of the stuff, I will charge you only twice what regular grease goes for. Don't wait.

PS, since it is so late today, I am extending the offer till Thu morning but that is the final extension. Don't wait. I am expecting large orders and if you don't hurry, you may find that I am out of stock by the time you PM me. First come, first served. BTW, please mention that you saw this on Mercedesshop.com since this great pricing is only advailable to board members.

You can pick up a case of bison oil at any tribal-run casino. Look for it in the gift shop near the Vitalis display.

I seem to remember ...

In the Army, when renewing muffler grease be sure to adjust the operator head space.
