Way to go, Shanebo!  Nice capture there. 

I love the description... "looked just like colnel Sanders...the handle bar mustache and pointy goatee and everything...no white suit though..."  I actually laughed out loud when I read that.

I wonder if he poured some of the 11 herbs and spices into his gas tank.  :o

That front mud flap is interesting, looks like it wraps all the way around the wheelwell.  I guess that's one way to keep road crud out of the inner fenders.

Nope, me either.  No matter the car, some people come up with some interesting fixes.
