Had to troubleshoot an electrical problem on my daughter's boyfriend's car, a '92 Olds. Cutlass or somesuch with a transverse V-6. There isn't room under that bonnet to squeeze in a can of sardines! To get to the battery or fuse box, you have to unbolt some frame stiffener.... Anyway, down where the body, chassis and bulkhead (or what would pass for one) come together, there is this recess revealed when you open the doors. Absolutely perfectly designed to catch/keep debris, road salt, moisture and whatnot in a location where these could do the most damage in the shortest amount of time. This debris trap was so perfect, it had to be *designed* that way. No way anybody could be that stupid.... Is it any wonder Olds is folding? *----jeep may be famous, LAND-ROVER is Legendary----* | | | A. P.
