[Fat Charlie]

When you fix a corner light with a clear 2 liter soda bottle, an X-acto knife and some clear packing tape.

And on the same car you fix a dud headlight connector by running 3 random wires from the other headlight's prongs across to the bad headlight, running both headlights off the good one's wiring.

And on the same car by repairing rust holes with duct tape and a thin veneer of Bondo.

We loved that car. It was Al (Short for J. Alfred Roofrack). We replaced it with an identical one that had been taken care of better by someone with a lot more money than us- that was Al Junior. Now I'm driving Al the third. It's not an Accord, but it's a blue Honda 4 door that's the same size and weight as the other two.

And Al the third is now well on his way to being a jalopy as well.
