Armand Bengle commented on Commenter Of The Day: Rich Girls On The Tee Vee Edition

"While installing a new exhaust system in my Sunbeam Alpine today, I managed to knock it off its jack stands, crunching part of the front valence and nearly taking off my arm (which, while intact, is going to be purple, swollen and painful for the next few days.) Then, once I got everything put together, I couldn't get it to start. Thank you, everyone-- at this point, seeing a 1040-horse Rolls was the only car-related reason to roll out of bed today."
