[Supras] bad luck or bad mechanic.....

[Harley]

LOL!! That sucks... Did you say anything to the mechanic. I can see maybe 
"Cleaning" fuel lines, not for $200, but "oiling" a fuel line? Wow!! Thats 
messed up. That guy needs to be shot. Sorry to hear u got ripped off man. 
You should call BAR(Bureau of Auto Repair) 909-782-4250. Thats practicly 
robbery.
