I'm feeling a little guilty here.  When Chris was having a bunch of swiss
cheese removed from his frame and rear wheel-wells by a local metal
magician, we went down to see the work.  He was talking about how every time
he looked somewhere else, he found more rust, and I made the off-handed
comment that she's starting to sound like Pandora's Box.  It stuck, and
little did I know how apt it would turn out to be.

If I could take it back, I would, but it seems the die is cast.

Oh, when Chris objected to the Pandora label, he said, "well, at least I
don't drive a boat!".  To which I replied, "But you do!  After all, it is a
Chris craft . . . ;-)

Original Message: To give you just one example of why I'm so terrified;
while discussing my car, he said, "man, there sure were a lot of washers in
that car.  I've never seen so many washers.  I'll try to put them all back
in."

Yes, folks, the nightmare isn't yet over.

#3846 (unless that number has been is ground off and replace with a fake
one)

Chris, as long as he didn't say "wershers" you may be OK. (Unless he said
"Dem, dere" prior to "washers").
Now, if he said "Dem dere wershers" I'd forget about driving "Pandora" for
at least a couple more years.

PS: What's with these guys who name their cars?
