Re: [Peugeot-L] Why People Sell Their Peugeot(s)

I'm 64. I still think I don't have quite enough money coming in to farm out all my repairs to commercial mechanics. Thanks to Bill for reminding why it is that even when I'm 74, I'll be getting up early to work on my ride for a few hours, before cleaning (most of) the grease from under my nails and heading off to an alumni luncheon or a meeting with a consulting client!

That's a horrible event, Bill. I wish paying "the pros" could get us a better job than we ourselves would do. Of course, some "pros" are pros, some aren't, and it takes a few visits to discover the difference. And, for us weird-car-owners, sometimes there aren't pros anywhere near us!
