"Always trust your car to the man with the star. (line from an old M.A.S.H episode."

That's true, except that it's not. True and truer:

You can trust your car to the man who wears the star. The big bright Texaco star!

Thanks everyone. The reason I mentioned the M.A.S.H. episode was that it involved a general who asked Hawkeye whether he knew what the star on his shoulders stood for...

Never heard the original Texaco ad, though it was clear that the line was lifted from somesuch.
