     My 2000 Toyota pickup was giving me clear unmistakable messages that I 
need to do a tune-up and oil change.  The last place I was able to get the 
plugs I prefer no longer sells parts, just service.  So I ended up buying those 
on evilBay.  This morning I went shopping for oil and filters.

     I was lucky to find any 20W-50W (Valvoline), and the 5-20 they now have is 
something I would consider only if I was in Alaska.  And you can forget finding 
Fram filters anywhere.  So, yet another evilBay purchase.

     I have a clear vision of the future, where people such as me with older 
vehicles will be wandering through junk yards draining crank cases for engine 
oil.

     Fortunately, bicycle parts are readily available, even for the 40+ year 
old bikes that I have.
