Arlen...you are selling a 1973 used Vega.

Hey! That was my first car! It had the aluminum engine block and steel oil pan. Differing heat expansion rates for the two metals meant that the pan would never seal and it leaked oil like a sieve. I considered using the chainsaw mix.

And why not? The little 4 cylinder engine had about the same power as a chainsaw. They put an air conditioner on it; why? I don’t know. If I had the air on and stopped at a light, I had to put it in neutral and give it gas or the compressor would kill the engine.

You know, now that I think about it, government health care would perform a lot like a 1973 Vega, except we would pay Ferrari prices for it.
