When we last left our stalwart Wagon, its original transmission, which I've dubbed Alex, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , henceforth referred to as Derek. And Derek wasn't happy. He howled and crunched all the way home that night, in his best impression of a straight-cut rally-spec dogbox, even though he was a synchromesh transmission. He wasn't fooling anyone. On top of that, a broken wastegate bolt opened the door for a vacuum leak, and it sounded hilarious, as if Tex Avery had tuned my car. It really wasn't too far off from one of those !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that your mom threw away when you weren't looking so she wouldn't have to pay to see a shrink.

Something was wrong. Here's what I did about it, and how I ended up in the hospital.

Check out the rest of the sordid story at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , because somebody has to pay the bills around here.

"...and it sounded hilarious, as if Tex Avery had tuned my car."

Although wasted on today's youth, this is one of the funniest lines of automotive humor I've ever read.
