<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3131831, member: 8363"]MOS. I never believed that this was more than a less expensive piece for people who wanted a big stone ring and couldn't afford it. Actually, when you think about it, the fact that modern rings are sized and therefore, you have to pay a jeweler money to change it is just like the racket car makers developed to force you to go to the dealer for simple things like an oil change. When the 1962 Sloped Back Volvo I restored was totaled by an uninsured motorist, I bought a new Nissan Sport truck. The first time I went to change the oil, I discovered that not only did I have to buy a specially sized oil filter wrench, they had secreted the filter deep into the recesses of the motor causing me to have to wriggle into the engine compartment to get to it. I don't even bother to crack the hood of my current F250.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
