Cool Fuel Filter FYI

Hey yall!

In case anyone is using the stock fuel filter I wanted to spread the word that I got one (PN : FF12) from Bap Geon's for under $8 bucks!

Hope this helps someone...Thanks for all your help over the years!

It's a chain of import parts stores. There's one conveniently 138 miles away!

Yes. We jest because we love. Comments like these are usually good bait for rednecks, but I guess none are biting today. (Except for the moderators.)

We all know that F-Bodies are indeed (for those who live in the States) "imports" - made in a land where 'Merican or English is not the first language spoken.

I believe it would technically be "Queens English" north of the border. I am fine stating that I speak American English, but I did take French in middle school. Au Revoir.

Actually, you missed, its French. The f-body was made at the St Therese plant in Quebec. The official language of Quebec is French.

synonyms: flippant, flip, glib, frivolous, tongue-in-cheek, ironic, sardonic, joking, jokey, jocular, playful, sportive, teasing, mischievous


See what happens when a non-mod posts in this thread?

I also suppose you could try to save yourself and say you were being facetious as well, ElkySS
