THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD THING!

IF YOU HAD A REAL JEEP (LIKE Jacobandnickolas YEARNS FOR) YOU'D HAVE A VEHICLE FOR LIFE! ...........OR 2 LIKE ME!---ONE IS 36 AND THE OTHER IS 67 YEARS YOUNG!.......DRIVEN DAILY

IF YOU ARE LIKE THE REST OF US----YOUR MONEY TREE IS WITHERING

DO YOU HAVE A GOOD MECHANIC?

IF NOT, MAYBE I COULD MAKE SOME SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHERE TO LOOK FOR A GOOD "REASONABLE" ONE (MAYBE ONE YOU COULD CALL A "KEEPER" FOR ALL OF YOUR CARS NEEDS)

HE'D ALMOST BECOME "FAMILY"

THEY DO EXIST!........ONES THAT CARE ABOUT THEIR WORK---YOU DON'T MAKE PAYMENTS ON THEIR YACHTS!

IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE----AND YOU HAVE YOUR PALS DO IT (DO IT YOURSELF...BASICALLY)----I CAN MAYBE SHOW YOU HOW TO SAVE A LOT OF MONEY ON THE PARTS YOU MIGHT NEED

I FEEL CERTAIN Jacobandnickolas WILL VOUCH FOR ME ON THIS STUFF......I'VE AIDED HIM WITH SAVING ON PARTS TOO!

YOUR TURN

THE MEDIC
