Gee whiz, Dave, if you would've driven everywhere in reverse, your lug nuts would've tightened themselves.

come on, now. the towels were well past the turbo charger. they did clean the valves, however. and then they swabbed the exhaust pipe clean.

Ummmm D, they were ingested by your engine, first the intake valves, then the combustion chambers, then the exhaust valves, onward to the hot side of your turbo then cleaned the exhaust pipe.

i think the hot side of the turbo would get you more than blisters.... i bet that thing gets glowing with a high speed run up the canyon.

It gets hot enough to incinerate the toughest paper towels.
Okay I am done with that, but that first phone call was too funny.

Oorg. Thought I was done for the day, but now I'm waiting for some guy to come down from Bakersfield for surgery. That's a 90-minute drive without traffic--and this is the worst traffic day of the year, IMO.
