I'm just saying that there wasnt as much control over it before because we didnt know how bad it was. Assuming you didnt eat any you would be fine.

I think that's what makes us old guys shake our heads at the modern reaction (in our eyes over reaction) to things like this.
For instance having to lose (or whatever happened to them) your boots for walking across an area that had a little mercury spilled on it. Nobody is going to eat your boots.

Yeah, I decided the same thing long ago. I never call it a sphygmomanometer if I can help it.

I don't see why not, since it sleeps in your driveway and eats out of your wallet.

Just use the numeric characters from the vin...if you need a couple more, take them from the license number. I'm sure nobody will check.

What's a normal refund? I didn't make much in 2011 (that I reported) so my state refund was $43 and my federal is $250ish. I got all of my taxes back but obviously I didn't pay much in the first place
