Oh, I noticed because I drove both of them for a time.

While I was still in the work force, I remember something about a recall on
certain Chevy models because of the starter overheating.  I think they
encased it in a protective wrapping of some kind or installed a heat
shield, but my memory of that is vague.

The engine has not been run in almost two years now.

Although not mechanically inclined, she was a good person at one time.

Hence my distrust of most lawyers.  There was one I trusted a long time ago
because I played golf with him and even hired him on one occasion.
