My neighbor Gus

[Hank70SS]

So i walked over to see Darryl the other day, he took his car to a GM dealer to have it checked out. They said it was a trans leak, both input shaft and between main case and tail shaft. I can believe that because I did see what looked like gear lube on the bottom of the trans when we looked at it but seemed to come from rear main after we wiped it clean and started the engine. Tough to say laying on the ground under the car with a flashlight.

Asked Darryl when he was taking it back, I would go with him. His eyes rolled back in his head and he started laughing. He had told me a couple days earlier that Gus had stopped over and said the same thing.

Darryl said "Gus, I'm kind of a loaner, I have my sat radio, cd's and prefer to go by myself. My brother-inlaw and cousin offered to go and I told them no."

Gus, "Well I'll go with you, let me know when you're going."

Darryl, "No Gus I want to go by myself."

So the conversation moved on to other topics. Finally Gus decided it was time to go home, as he walked away he said "Let me know when we're taking the car back."

Now every time I see him I say "When are you taking the car back, I'll go with you?" I also asked him how he was going to sneak that car hauler home and load the Chevelle without Gus seeing him. Suggested he might want to leave at 3:30 in the morning so Gus doesn't see him, and throw some mud out the window as he goes by Gus's.

I did tell Darryl he could come in the other way and put the trailer in my driveway then drive the Chevelle over and load it. Gus wouldn't be able to see it, far side of my house from Gus. Not sure when he's taking it back yet but it should be interesting.
