But the guy drove out of the Ford dealership three blocks up the street and into Les Schwab's, so they had all the little nubby things still on them. HALF PRICE because somebody spent $38,000 on a Ford and figured they hadn't spent enough already.
Yeah, it starts at the front doesn't it?

I thought it was just me! (according to my wife it was )
