He-he... liquid currency - I am familiar withthe concept... I've been in Moscow in late 80's and learned how to down vodka - as a matter of fact, I think it is part of the first aid kit, right?... lol...
I did not know there were so many Moscows in the States - that's so funny...
As far a for the wad of rubles, I certainly hope that I can plead gringo ignorance and pull out a diplomatic ID - at least it worked fine in Latin America...
I am going to look at the power steering hoses, to see if they are wet or not - I have a local Indy coming on saturday (unless he changes his mind) and I hope to go over things, to make sure I have it covered...
There are 4 oxygen sensors in that car, 2 before and 2 after catalitic converter... I probably will leave that part for later, as my labor negotiating spanish is not as good as my russian, and I am sure I can find cheaper labor in Moscow (maybe, maybe not, but I am not ready for the O2 yet...)
And I know the feeling of being stranded in the middle of nowhere - blown tire in the middle of Panama was not fun...
