Ade, are you sure it was kitchen-grade ALUMINIUM (since we all like Brit-speak) foil and not something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-80334-Degree-Exhaust-Repair/dp/B000BOAMUI
Still a bodge, but the Permatex label and fact that it's sold in auto parts stores gives it some small measure of credibility. Though not much.....
Nope, I called him to tease him about it. He admitted regular kitchen foil. It was new though, so no tasty bacon smell, just exhaust fumes gagging me.

I think a revoking his man card is a bit much in this situation. Given his track record, I think a 3 day suspension may be more in order.

OK deal.
I'll get Steel Magnolias, Gone with the wind and Thelma and Louise out of the library and make him watch them as penance.

Ow. Agreed. Went too far. Knowing how many cars could be bought with the money those women "spend" on shoes could kill a man.

Or, probably more to the point, he was in what my uncle calls one of his "DILLIGAF" moods. Given his track record and age, he is entitled to be in one of those 4/5 of the time.

Urrp. Nasty just to think about.
On subject: hell, at least he tried. I know way too many people who wouldn't have even done that, they'd have sold the car for $25. Oh, wait...
