And I'm guessing he wouldn't spend any extra money he might get on a roof over his head anyway - why spend money on something when there is a suitable substitute (i.e, old campaign banners)? But I'm sure he'd use extra money for something his family needs. <BR/><BR/>Funny - my preferred golf cart mechanic is called Roberto as well.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391875870787818644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-35484897205561849262008-10-14T17:46:00.000-05:002008-10-14T17:46:00.000-05:00That looks kind of like my yard, but you don't wan...That looks kind of like my yard, but you don't want me changing your oil.

Oil and a spare filter was on my list of things to bring to Mexico this year. I guess I just have to shop around. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if he might be using recycled oil? Nothing wrong with it if he is, it is cleaned and re-refined. Good as new but cheaper.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-21574685228033291862008-10-14T12:18:00.000-05:002008-10-14T12:18:00.000-05:00Love the waiting room...do they offer free coffee ...Love the waiting room...do they offer free coffee like the glitzy showroom dealerships up here while you're waiting for service?
