instrument panel?

[Ed Kellock]

When the flasher indicators come on with the lights, that's a known IC problem.

I have just de-stereofied and de-alarmified two cars.  Unbelievable
people will do to your car when you let them.  It's kinda fun to take
all that crap out actually.  Kinda like an archeological dig.  And it
feels like I'm really cleaning things up.  At least you get to see
areas that have been disturbed by monkey lads in the past.

So how much fuel are you pumping in when you get gas every 150 miles?
