[Mgs] Market opportunity

[riverside]

I had a very rusty BGT that I drove many a mile  over road bumps,potholes 
and rumble strips.
Now and then  my timing of traffic lights  would be off a bit and it would 
die in the middle of
an intersection. I got many looks of disdain when other drivers saw me get 
out, they thinking
that I was going to push it out of their way. Their disdain would turn to 
looks of amused
amazement as I would slowly walk around the back of the car, give it a swift 
kick just in
front of the wheel, walk slowly back around and get in, start up and drive 
away.
