Well, @Stan Galat I guess you were administering a solid of dose of medicine. Bitter tasting maybe but said with a good Dose of Truth. Should I say a reality check. On the other hand no one who has actually rebuilt an old car has a story that is any different, they are just not telling you the truth so you can take the money pit away from them at a higher price at the auction. 
P.S. "Deliciously different," is the slogan for Verner's Drug store Ginger soda, often used to take bitter medicine, as well as Pepsi.
Still my favourite Ginger soda.
