It seems to me that you thought he had finished the task. But right or wrong I think it's great you did that. My daughter has figured out quite a bit about cars because she likes putting things together, etc. She's had a few comments through the years because of it-silly isn't it? thanks Ruth, like Donna, I hope you have lots more stories!Linda Baiehttp://teacherdance.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573284323132271567.post-36728019903259178662012-03-09T16:40:13.157-07:002012-03-09T16:40:13.157-07:00Loved this one.

It is good to have an understanding of what goes into basic maintenance. It makes it easier to tell if someone is feeding you a line when you take your car in to have work done on it.Storykeeperferrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573284323132271567.post-26679151144274366222012-03-09T11:35:15.035-07:002012-03-09T11:35:15.035-07:00Tara,
