["Obie Fayth" <bibendum59@domain.elided>]

    I would have thought that a mechanic devoted enough to steal a 
customer's car in order to protect it from a less than completely devoted 
owner would have a better understanding of his own vehicle. Of course he 
primarily works on Saabs, so that could account for it ;)

My apologies to the folks on the list who are not Seinfeld fans and probably 
have no idea what I am talking about.
