Ed is too kind. Or didn't stay long enough to look close enough...  My T'All
has lots of issues. Why, even as we speak, it's slowly issuing gear oil from
the tranny, engine oil from the oil pan gasket, air from the left rear tire,
volatile binding agents from all of the trim and vinyl, etc. All of my
vehicles have issues, including the 3 Binders in particular.

I think my biggest problem is trying to work on all of them part time,
instead of one of them full time, but I can't seem to avoid it. How Jim and
Ed those other "accretive" ones amongst us manage to stay sane, I don't
know. If I had *more* than these 3, I'd be toast. Happy toast, but toast
just the same.
