miles or twice a year. $25

2. Blinker Fluid. You knew it existed but, WOW, is this stuff hard to find.

4oz bottle. $12

3. Synthetic Blinker Fluid. Better yet! 4oz bottle. $24

4. Light Bulb Filaments. Why throw away a perfectly good turn signal or stop

light bulb when you can just install a new filament? Premium

Filaments, made in the USA! $1 ea.

black box, etc.), may have become infected with this nasty computer virus.

This product will safely remove the virus. $199

18. Mirror Image Flipper Film. Did you know that the image you see in your

rear view mirrors are reversed! This is a manufacturing flaw

that the auto companies have kept secret for years as the recall would cost

BILLIONS! This film can be cut and placed over any mirror

to correct the image. Now you'll be able to read signs in the rear view

mirror! $5 per square ft

Lamar,

Please RUSH one of each item. I've several friends in the Buicktown Chapter who would just love to have these items, and they're tough to shop for these days.

I also have an electric ball peen hammer available for "adjusting" the muffler bearings. Small size is $23.95, large is $32.95.

Merry Christmas,

Bob Leets

Lamar, that's cool, but why would the CD version of the muffler bearing installationn be cheaper that the print version, that's the opposite of the world today..... Oh, I forgot this is joke, thanks for sharing. RV

[JohnD1956]

What? No hood insulation springs? I thought they were available last year along with the lifetime guarantee oil change supplement, which only costs $799.00 and makes any engine oil last for 150,000 miles. Considering the increases in the price per barrel this year, we could use that stuff again!!!

i really don't want to make this sound like im bad mouthing

a nice guy like lamar,....but...i bought some of those fan belt buckles

from him last year as gifts, and they were so nice, i bought one for myself, and im glad i tried them out before giving them out as gifts, those things are noisy as hell. thump,thump,thump!!

i been trying to e.mail him and call him, but he never returns any of my messages that i leave!!

and you know, it's not even that i want my money back!!

i would be willing to exchange these items for...let's say, the good synthetic blinker fluid, not that cheap stuff o'de-toilet blinker fluid either!!

Dear Mr Pisson

We are forever indebted to you for bringing this to our attention! I certainly recall your order of the Gold Fan Belt Buckles for a 1949 Roadmaster Custom Convertible. We sincerely regret they did not perform properly and were so noisy. We suspect you may have installed them backwards or upside down or in your case it sounds more like insidoutereds. The only other simiLIAR incident we have ever had reported was from some DA that tried installing them on something other than their intended use. (A 1967 CHEVROLET Chevelle Convertible I believe it was) We suspected a fraudulent report in that case because everyone knows one could never hear anything in such a vehicle anyway because of all the rattles and windnoises and besides it would take more than fanbelt buckles to help such a derelict car as that anyway. We are certain this is not the case with you though as you have been such a devoted Buick owner for how long now?

So, if you can provide a statement of fact from your clergy along with photos of the 49 Roadmaster supporting this claim we will gladly send you a new set to try again. Oooopps, I just noticied your invoice date is Dec 21,2003 which means the 1 year warranty is up. Looks like you're SOL.

Again thanks for your business and we hope to receive many more orders from you. By the way, we would love to see a current photo of that car of yours!!!

Disrespectfully yours ,

Ramal

WELL WELL WELL, look who's stirrin' the bottom of the pot!

as we speak, i'm cutting all your replies in this venue-

and pasting them in the "rant n'rave" section!

i'm clicking & dragging...like a wild man, but nothing is working,

iv'e e.mail the moderator for help...

if you want to see the car,

go to: www.pbase.com/passan

Merry Christmas! i'm still laughing as i type!

PS. when you mentioned, DA does that mean District Attorney??

[Guest imported_MrEarl]

So you ARE the District Attorney that put the Buick fanbelt buckles on the Chevrolet. As this will cause the engine to reverse itself thereby only runnning in reverse and to spare you the humilitation you would experience at the first drag race you entered that SS in, we are sending a new set at no charge. We must however charge shipping and due to high gas prices that will come to $40 plus $180.00 handling.

Thanks for your continued loyalty, support and trust in our company.

All kidding aside, that is a beautiful Chevelle Dennis. I'm sure you miss the 49 though. Between the 49 custom and this, it is clear that you do indeed have a "Hot Rod Heart" Merry Christmas friend

[dennis passan]

if you flip all the way down the main index and go to

the CHEVROLET section here on this site. then walk through all the post's

you will see a post for a beutiful 38 business coupe'

original survivor the owner is selling it for 17,500

i e.mailed him and he won't swap with me, cause he needs the money and the room!

but boy it sure looks like a beautiful car, check it out.

and thank you for understanding my position with the fan-belt buckle's.

you are a good citizen...trying to do the right thing.

what did they call the police on their motor bikes back in the old days when they hid behind the billboards waitin' for ya?

[Guest Skyking]

Lamar, great idea! Did you ever consider buying a bunch of these products and listing them on ebay?? I bet they will do as well as "The Ghost".....

[Guest imported_MrEarl]

Dennis,

visited the Chevrolet site.... now I gotta go take a lye soap shower

nice car though, for a Chevy

watch out for them gator's

[Guest imported_MrEarl]

SkyKing,

RE: "Did you ever consider buying a bunch of these products and listing them on ebay??"

Ebay? that's where I found these. I was figurin on gettin a bunch of orders up then start biddin.

[Guest imported_MrEarl]

Ohhhh, ohhh, almost missed this one. You 53 owners certainly can't be without a set of these "to provide light to the extreme corners of the front end" !!!. Well heck, I bet it would fit my headlight doors too since they are basically the same as the 53. Guess I'll pass though.
