Some one must talk to the guy with the saw. He needs to realign the board. After all there is a slot on the lower part of the human torso that is made just for that purpose.
At least this particular guy should not be writing columns. We need to know what make and year of the car. It could have had the old standard points ignition. Or maybe it was diesel and someone put gas in or vice ad versa. Yeah, some guys just can't get it right.
