I'm not complaining, because there is also a lot of information to be gained here from knowledgeable and experienced A guys, and even after 55 years in the hobby I learn things, but not everything can be fully explained on this site. It just seems curious to me that people don't avail themselves of these resources.

I find it rather ironic that you are critical that Barners don't spend a couple hundred dollars whereas you recently made your yearly post on how you can save a few pennies on antifreeze! Is this not somewhat hypocritical? I think so. Wayne
