Body:
Sorry, you've covered all bases, Mr A. I have not a clue. i.e.
Shocks, Okay....Springs, Okay. Ummmm, lets see, maybe a set of rear
adjustable shocks (thinking Monroe here) might have the travel
distance to raise the "tush" to normal height!

I don't think the "Grand Theft Auto" charge takes us all the way back
to the "Wild-West" -- just to the sainer 1950s, perhaps.

It's discusting how this society, in its never ending quest to be
goody two shoes, has presumed the guilty to be innocient, even when
caught red-handed, then supplies them with free lawyers, while those
with money (because they have not taken up a drug habit, have worked
& saved......what dat called? Oh 'ya, the American Way) ... have to
PAY for their attorneys' and then if convected of the crime he/she
can then start all over again and appeal it! Plead guilty to lessor
charges, have other charges thrown out, claim their lawyer did not do
them good, request a new lawyer, etc, etc, etc. Meanwhile the victim
is out in the cold, with like no rights!! AND this is why crime is
wild in the streets. My street has 9 houses on it. 4 have been
robbed & 1 car broken into & 2 cars stolen! I have escaped, as I
have a surveilance video camera on the front of my house, that moves
back & forth following anyone who walks by, and films & 4 of my 5
cars are in the garage! The one in the driveway has a steering wheel
club, and a Auto Brake club and a siren and wheel locks and a motion
detector. I presently am trying hard to by a "BOOT" for the back
wheel, but cannot find any. I need some help with that item!
