Just for the record, I was the broke down man. Left one parade and was on my way to another when the truck just died in a uppity suburb of Cincinnati right next to a Starbucks. Seeing my trucks (my son in the 925 and me in the 923) caused such a stir. With all the BMWs, Mercedes, Lexus' and Prius' driving by must have unsettled them. Minutes later the local LEO arrived, luckily he was a former artillery officer and very interested in my trucks. Apparently a yuppie was concerned if there was some military operation about to happen...
Thankfully, the Calvary arrived to rescue me from yuppieville...well, actually it was Gimpyrobb...with a slave and tow bar! Many thanks to him!!!
As for the bluish-green crap, I'll brush if off (thanks for info Doghead!).
Many thanks again to Gimpy (and his brain trust from the SS community!). Problem solved!
