[SEL] Mechanical geniuses

[Tony & Jackie]

He was probably 17-18.  Obviously he knew nothing about 
cars.  Needless to say he DIDN'T get his money back.  I told him even 
if the trannsmission WAS slipping he wouldn't have got his money back 
since I put a "tail light" warranty on all the cars I sell.  When I 
can no longer see the tail lights, then the warranty has expired.
