[DeTomaso] NPC Cushman

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Here, let me grab a salt shaker....

So... this makes -three- vehicles that are now in various states of repair?

I feel for you though.  Nothing like starting what seems like an easy  
job only to find a) you can't get to it, b) you'll break whatever it  
is that's in the way because it's old and rusty c) parts can't be  
found locally and d) that cold beer in the fridge sure tastes good...  
bottle after bottle after bottle...
