July 1990

Dear Tom and Ray:
It's time to fish or cut bait with my 1983 Nissan Sentra (it needs a new engine). The question is, do I fix it or do I dump it?
Bob

RAY: Fix it.

TOM: Dump it.

RAY: Wait a minute, did you say it was an '83 Sentra? On second thought, as much as I hate to do it, I agree with my brother. Dump it, Bob. Beat up old car
