If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Who here said in his signature something like:
"If I go first, I hope she doesn't sell the things for what I said I paid"?

Best signature!

Oil changes, etc. are on a note pad in the glove compartment with date and mileage listed. The actual receipts for those and all other work are in a file folder in the filing cabinet.
