[DeTomaso] The magic of the second opinion

Simple, you just tell them it's from a tractor, just not a Lamborghini
tractor . . .

Thanks to all of your recommendations for me to get a second opinion on my
radiator leak.  After getting a quote for a $450 repair, I got a referral
from a very good car guy in town named Larry Rebsman to another shop.  I
went there and it turns out the owner's father started out repairing tractor
radiators in Omaha, Nebraska many years ago.  The owner told me he still
does things "old school" and uses low temperature natural gas instead of
acetylene, which is better, apparently, and he could probably fix the
radiator for $75!  

I'll find out next week if it actually is fixed successfully.  I wouldn't
have believed it was possible to have that kind of price differential, and
wouldn't have even checked if the forum hadn't made the suggestion.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Chris
