<VV> Stripped Oil Pan

[J R Read_HML]

I like the way you prefaced that.  Makes it sound a bit more like a race day 
fix than a 30,000 mile fix.  It is probably somewhere in between.  I guess 
it all depends on your annual mileage, could last a LONG time for some 
folks.

Oh, the "judicious" part is important!
