What appeared to be an easy lay up turns out to be a tough shot!

I went with my favorite machinist to look at a Lincoln he was interested in. He asked me to drive it. The seller's wife rode along. We went out on the interstate and I romped on it up to about 85 and then we drove it back. He decided to think about it. The next day the guy calls him and said I ruined the transmission in it.

Heh!

My friend told him to go fly a kite and after a few harassing calls the guy gave up.

Another time we went to look at a Mercedes a local fellow had for sale. I romped on it fairly well too but only up to about 60. The car had a miss at higher rpm. When I pointed it out the fellow got really angry and said Mercedes were not made to be run hard like that.

Hah!
