<div>Ok, here’s my tell of woe.</div>
<div>Dude, shows up at my shop and wants to know if one of my Go-4’s is for
sale.</div>
<div>Seen running ‘round town in them.</div>
<div>I think a moment and say “Yea, I’ll part with the 2004.”</div>
<div>Now, note that I have owned and been driving this thing for over 2 years.
</div>
<div>Up till about 6 months ago, while I did some R&R on my 96, it had been
pretty much a parts runner.</div>
<div>So when the 96 was finished I parked the 04, pulled the tags and dropped
the insurance. No big deal.</div>
<div>Now the the rest of the story.</div>
<div>Dude says “Can I take for a test drive?”</div>
<div>Sure, go ahead, keys in it. (his rides sitting on the drive so he’ll be
back).</div>
<div>Well, he was gone for about 30 mins, but then he shows back up, ON FOOT !
</div>
<div>What the &%”# !! Where’s my scoot?</div>
<div>Turns out, it’s at the end of my driveway. Smoking and erupting
whatever fluids it has left.</div>
<div>Seems it started making a “funny” noise, but he kept going till the “odd”
smell started.</div>
<div>He then stops, and looks under it, at what he thinks was oil or antifreeze
running from under it. At this point he’s, and I quote: “I never did go over
40.”</div>
<div>Now this “car guy” (his words, not mine) decides to drive it back to my
shop, but it died on him at the driveway. </div>
<div>Suddenly as I start down the drive he hands me the keys, gets in his car
and hauls butt.</div>
<div>I stand there for second not really understanding what just happened.
And to make matters worse, I’ve got no clue who the heck he was.</div>
<div>So, I go down the driveway and lo’ and behold it’s sitting there with
the tranny still in “L”! Guess he didn’t get it over 40, huh.</div>
<div>Pop the hood. No screw top on the water res and antifreeze steaming
everywhere. Do you think it got warm?</div>
<div>But that’s OK cause it’s mixin just fine with the smell/smoke of HOT motor
oil. Well, it did leak have some oil left, just not in the engine.</div>
<div>Pulled (dragged) it to the pad out side the shop doors and there she
sits.</div>
<div>I’ll work up the courage to take a good look tomorrow.</div>
<div>Probably not the dudes fault. Like your buds stuff/mower that doesn’t break
till you borrow it, ya know.</div>
<div>Maybe I’ll fix it or part it out.</div>
<div>Thought you folk might like a good giggle too. After all, it’s just a toy
right?</div>
<div>Later ya’ll,</div>
<div>Mike</div>
