Re: Catalyst question....

We used to have a 'really' good 'mechanic' up at my local Canadian Tire.

Man if a CJ or YJ with a 258 failed emissions, he would suggest
something and he was spot on 'every' freaking time! And we were
bringing ones in that had the 'Nutter' done or no computer running
things...

The dude was too damn good, some garage stole him away! Canadian Tire
won't tell me where he went! Grrr...

"Those same people "are laughing themselves silly with the thought of the

Re: Catalyst question....

"disgorgement of ill-gotten profits and attorneys' fees. "

Is that "ill-gotten" attorneys' fees? The attorney's fees part of the
statement says it all. F**king lawyers should have to pay costs when they
lose. I'd bet that, if they did, you wouldn't see all those stupid "class
action" suits, like when the stock holder sue a company for not making
enough money.
