[PRCo] Re: G Scale Air Car

[Fred Schneider]

And my lawn sprinkler from WalMart lasted three hours.   The store asked what I did wrong.  I said I put water through it.   I demanded my money back.   They wanted to give me another one.   I said no, I will go home and remanufacture the old "made in the USA" item even if I have to make new parts.
