  > What do you mean by "having his acct hijacked". What would the benefit
  be to the scammer.

Simple, hijacker takes over account info (password, email address, etc) and 
  sells thousands of dollars worth of stuff.  Since the 'seller' already 
has a good feedback rating, nobody questions it, and they just send money 
to the suddenly changed email address.  By the time anyone figures anything 
out, scammer is long gone with $$$ in pocket.

Randy,

All I can say is to start the engine with the radiator cap off. As the
thermostat opens, you will see the coolant level go down, so add more
coolant. When the radiator looks to be full, close the radiator cap.

I had some neighbors (renters) running a midnight used car operation.
They used a really old wooden garage to "repair" these choice pieces and

No one was hurt but it put this pain-in-the-a** illegal business out of

Based on the Gallery photos at 
http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/gallery.html I think I would agree. The 
'72 version has its turn signals above the front bumper rather than in it.

Also note that the stupid "wagon hunt" is dated something like 1995 so at 
least it's not a recent waste; you gotta assume that '73 wagons were pretty 
plentiful back then.

Hi Vinny,

Oh definitely!  If I do the chain-fall system, I'm not going to rely on my
own rafters or support beams of the garage at all.  I'd do it the way my
friend did, with two VERY stout vertical beams that he put in on the garage
floor.  They almost reached the ceiling, but not quite, then he put a
horizontal beam of the same type across them.  His own garage's
architecture isn't doing any of the support work, it's all done by the
stuff he put up there himself and KNOWS will hold.

Heck, I wouldn't trust my own rafters.  The description says the attic's
not meant to support any significant weight, and is in fact intended to
flex a little in severe wind, etc.
