The heater core exploded, and I decided to wait to replace it, since they wanted $700. It was bypassed, and my fingers FROZE! During the following summer, my AC compressor lost its front seal, and the AC failed. They want several hundred dollars to fix this. I can drive without AC, even in Memphis heat, simply by driving to the employee parking lot and then putting my uniform shirt on there. I even thought about driving to the employee lot naked, but it wouldn't be necessary and it might arouse the females who check our ID's as we enter the lot.

[trust me, you don't want to "arouse" these females; they are about as wide as they are tall~]

N!
HAHA

The more I read about these German 928's, the more they make sense to me.

I'm an electrician on F/A-18C fighter jets, and those monsters are hard to wrap one's head around. It takes time, and plenty of practice to figure out how to attack a strange gripe.

What I've learned about these jets is that the engineers were constantly focused on the lesser of two (or three) evils. Every system is designed to fail in the most safe way possible, or the most life-preserving way possible.

That's the way to approach those jets: what were the engineers trying to accomplish in this very strange way they designed this circuit, or whatever you're trying to fix.

Because of my exposure to F/A-18's, the 928 seems like a very logical car to me.

But what do I know? I don't even own one, or have even worked on one before.

I sure like riding in them, though.
