~ Which page was your favorite? Share why: Pg. 114, it has a list of what your mechanic might say and what it actually means. For example, "If Your Mechanic Says, Your intake manifold pulley needs to be rebuilt. He Means, I lost a bet last night, and I'm a bit low on cash."

~ Flip to page 2, 22, or 202. Share the 7th sentence on the page. "Basically, what he was trying to say, in his own way, is that speed limits are a crock of sh*t." (Somehow Einstein's Theory of Relativity explains away speed limits)
