Default GM loses big-time

That reminds me of another story I read here a while back...

Sometime in the early 1960s, I was driving back from Ft.Leonard Wood to
Kansas City in a nice old MGA I owned at the time. About halfway home it
started raining heavily, I turned on the wipers, and EVERY SINGLE
electrical accessory and light in the car flashed on, there was a large
popping sound and it all blew out at once. And the car caught fire. I
pulled over to the side of the road, watched the fire, removed my
license plate and hitched on home. For all I know, that old MGA is still
there.

Sure was a pretty little car.


Well, they didn't call Joe Lucas the "Black ([K]night" or the "Prince
of Darkness" for nothing.

Q. why do the british drink warm beer?
A. Because Lucas builds refrigerators, too!
