[s-cars] RE: Apikol SSK

[Mark Strangways]

So Pauly, what are you suggesting...
Load up the 12 Gauge and pump some lead into my car ?
Darn good idea some days, but this week I like my car... Maybe next week.

What is the source of the lead, used (or new) fishing weights ?
I have yet to see lead on the shelve of my local home depot (god how I hate 
that store), but it's likely a banned substance up here.
