Re: quote without comment (NAC)



I would have thought that a mechanic devoted enough to steal a customer's car in order to protect it from a less than completely devoted owner would have a better understanding of his own vehicle. Of course he primarily works on Saabs, so that could account for it ;)

My apologies to the folks on the list who are not Seinfeld fans and probably have no idea what I am talking about.

Holy cow, I couldn't make up stuff this good, if the writer actually quoted
the mechanic, Ryan Pillar, I feel sorry for Seinfeld, Simon and all the
beautiful people. No mechanic can be this ignorant, can he?

If this guy actually researched his facts, I'd like to know where he got
his facts, simply astounding.

I urge everyone to email the NYT, this is really shoddy journalism. Their
address is letters@domain.elided

con brio,
