What's This For

[Tom C]

My neighbor who drives corvettes strolled into my garage last night with a puzzled look on his face. He said I finally got around to checking under my hood and I can't figure out what this one thing is he told me. What are you talking about I asked and he told me the round thing with "710" on the top. I told him I didn’t have the slightest idea what it would be and he told me he had seen it on many other cars but never knew what it was for. He told me it came out easy and to hold on and he would go get it. He returned and this is what he had:

Luckily I found and tossed the one on my car a loooong time ago. It has saved me a lot of weight and less weight means more horse power. Now, if I could only keep my engine clean because Porsche really got carried away at the factory with the cosmoline. I also noticed my engine likes to tap in rhyme with the stereo, just weird. :D

While he was looking, did he check to make sure your red brake light fluid was full?

Tell him that the leaf springs on his corvette are worn out and need to be replaced with the same interval as the muffler bearings.

That reminds me of the story in ROAD & TRACK some time ago where the woman walks into a Ford dealership and says she'd like to take the FISO out for a test drive. After explaining to the Lady that there was no such Ford, she took him out to the parking lot and pointed to the F150.
