make it even more red neck by having a guy with purple toe nails wearing yellow panties outside his jeans standing next to his beat up rusty ford truck looking confused as to why it don't start. a beer in one hand and the other 5 hanging from his belt loop.

sorry folks, I'v been busy with things that are boring and don't pay squat.

in situations such as Beth's I actually wing it and see how it's built.

Don't forget that the panties should be stained for added effect!

It would also be even more effective if the guy was an over sized brute with what little hair he had left was red.....

Any luck with that? Some are pretty good.

Plus these "newer" cars made in the last few decades can be diffucult and sometimes EXPENSIVE on some things. A friend has a nice 2008 Chrysler 300M, needed a new intake manifold, told it would cost ~$1700 plus labor, about $2500!! I can't get a grip on that, all fuel injected, sensors, all that stuff.

Geezzzz, luckily he had a MA and it covered it. I remember the old days yanking off the old carberators, unbolting the manifold and putting another on.

Don't worry BETH, your problem is real low tech and a pretty cheap fix.
