Hi Clarence!

U amaze me with all your finding on these non-factory parts! U must have spent
quite a lot of time taking it apart to study.

My QP IV finally failed me 3 days ago. Power steering failure. Now waiting for
my garage to tell me their finding.

And I broke my left break light casing 3 weeks ago at the local sports club. Hit
it with a SUV's bumper railing!
