1) Re/ brake lines. One must really tar up and seal the brake lines that run under the left-side driver area before installing the rugs, pads and seats. 2) One must also periodically use an air compressor blower thingy to blow all the compost out of the air vents above the hood...all the way down to the drains below the fresh air box under dash. Pull the heavy hose and shove flexible wires in to joggle the crud. Save the compost for house plants...maybe. If that fresh air box gets clogged and drips etc it will a) drip onto gas pedal area of rustable brake lines and b) maybe even short fuses that will stop the car. If that happens, replace fuse, turn off the air fans, go home, clean the crud at liesure. 3) Folks in snowy, salt-using areas...check brake lines under that front driver area's rug more than others. Re-tar as necessary. Sue the highway dept for using the salt. Surely they are in cahoots with auto industry to destroy cars by corrosion. 4) Re/ fires... are there not Smoke Alarms that have RECHARGABLE batteries as part of the gizmo? That is, no need to replace polluting, expensive batteries all the time...but if fire knocks out electricity, the battery will then, and still, work to sound the alarms. __________________________________ Yahoo!
