Not true. I am completely bombed. I mean,. I had to retype 'true' because I respelled it "taui" the first time. I find when I wirte drunk, I spend a lot of time editing my writing so I don't seem drunk. Wanna know what's sad? There is a girl upstairs expecting me, and I am too tired to go up.

Yes. I am drinking 40 beer tomorrow!

Tell them you had ypur cam removed for the next two weeks while you get it reground, but you think it runs a lot better without a cam so you're gonna keep it that way. That, or tell them you installed a cam from the new electric motors.

When there is a woman waiting for you, and you are too drunk to go see her, THEN you have a drinking problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OT: I once had an emissions tester tell me he though I had some "valve noise." I told him to keep his damned hands off my car! I made sure I was standing right there when the morons did the test... I had to show them the spark plug wires, then they hooked it up wrong and had their guage showing me idling at 10,000 rpm!

Emissions people cannot be trusted.

I had another one tell me that my "ignition was advanced 60 degrees at idle and he couldn't pass me."

Think about that for a second.
