<VV> WC: For What Its Worth Dept.

[James Hogarth]

I had a salesman at a Nissan dealership in Fife, WA, ask if the engine
was under all my gear in the trunk.  I had to show him the engine as
well.  At least his mistake was excusable as he was only in his 20's.

Cheers,

I always leave the trunk open a little at open shows . People will walk
pass 
my buddys 80,000 $ 70 chevelle and 100,000++ 56 chev and as soon as they

look in the trunk thay almost allways walk around my car.
