Let's review again:
I give OP good advice for breaking in a new car on a long trip. You come in waiving the manual. I point out the manual verifies 99% of what I told the OP. You question the manual.
You say to me, "the question you really need to be asking yourself is this: "why do i pay attention to nameless nobodies""
I ask myself that question and wonder aloud why I haven't plonked you.
No, you're right. It sure doesn't look good. I'd give up if I were you...
Are you any relation to Smirmoff? He has a tendancy to think in RPN also...
