sounds like the rocket technicians(Burt and Benny! belch, wait! gotta pound
in a battery that won't fit) working on your URQ put two different sized
calipers on your rear. wise decision on a circle track, poor on a street
car, g 38 is better, it is bigger, they owe you a free rear caliper
installed and should kiss your hairy(delete "white", just in case, gotta be
PC) butt while doing it while michelle pfeiffer watches with sunglasses on
to avoid the glare from your asre while you don't sue them, of course she
should be having screaming wild sex with you while the caliper is being
replaced to lessen the necessity of a lawsuit on your behalf. just kiddin'
