A
Smoking Deal
| Since
my last car died, I've been on the hunt for
a new one to commute to college. However,
I've learned that cars in my budget range
usually require compromises. |
| The
other day I went to look at one that was in
pretty good shape even though smoke puffed
out the back when I started it. On the test-drive
around the neighborhood, the seller told me
that it ran really well for having slightly
burnt valves. "It still has great power,"
he bragged, "and gets nearly 100 miles per
gallon." |
| "You've
got to be kidding," I replied in amazement.
"That's great gas mileage!" |
| "It
would be," he laughed watching the smoke.
"But I was talking about the oil!" |
