    M1083 Mechanics CA

    Too many variables. You don't need a statistics class to figure this one out. A blown tire, plugged fuel filter, air leak in fuel line, a belt, a missing bolt, stuck brakes, air leak, blown hose, fan that explodes and takes out the radiator and so on..... Have it hauled.

    20 ft shipping container and M1078
