Bob;
I read this with some interest, having been caught red-handed in such
criminal activity as working on my car whilst it was parked at the curb in
front of my house.
Our particular ordinance against such obviously anti-social activity was
passed by fiat, not the way you " Tea Party" lads would do it. I had the
occasion today to have to replace a battery and a power steering belt on my
current daily driver, thinking all the time that should a constable happen
by, that I would be a two-time loser in the penal system. It cost me $50.
last time I had to replace the starter that failed. I noticed on the
cardboard wrapping of the v-belt had the warning- 'Please turn off the
engine before attempting work on the belts."
Now, I ask, Is this really necessary in today's litigious society, or has
it become the job of municipalities or corporations to protect morons from
themselves?
Having a fun week with my '66 Dodge and '89 Mazda,
