The "Green Polizi"

Ever since I totaled that cop car in Cincinnati my golden rule has been to not argue or pick fights with cops. You will loose every time (except in my case in Cincy where I had a good lawyer).

That being said, are we now in danger of being raided by the "Green Polizi" or an angry mob of environmentalist led by a Green Czar? Oh My!

Perhaps we should move our meeting place to somewhere downwind of Gwinnett County?

Looks like Donnie's car. Oh wait, I remember, that's Frank's car!

Hey Greg, remember us pinko communist tree hugging liberal socialist **** child brain-warping ecoterrorist democrats support conservative efforts like keeping 25 year old cars on the road instead of the scrap heap!

How did you total that cop car in Cincinnati, anyway?

Dudes, check this out, a 13A (which of course would make it eligible as a true OGTA rotary, being an Old Guy with 13A)

Looks like those early Mazda engineers had a little trouble deciding on a name, however.

It's a long story, back in 1978. I'll have to sit down for an hour and key it in. It was only a campus cop anyway. However half the of the Cincinnati Police Dept. showed up to see who the would be cop killer was.

URGENT! I need a spare tire. I blew out my rear passenger (not being stupid, just driving) and when I went to install my spare, it was flat.

Does anyone have a tire I can borrow until I can get to the tire shop tomorrow morning?

Greg, what's happening with the personal file? Can you do mine?

Quad, try inflating the spare, sometimes it takes. Get a can of that flat fix and put it in there or in the one that went flat. Man you are having you're share of ****.

Well, I tried to inflate the spare, even with fix a flat the spare wouldn't inflate. Luckily I got a hold of Crit who gave me 4 tires. But they're all like 8 years old, so I think he wants me to put my 3 good tires on his rims, then I'll buy 4 new tires and put them on my rims.

He also gave me a throttle body, so hopefully that'll work out for me.

Crit to the rescue again!

Chris those are pics from a meet that Frank and his silver SA showed up for. People were wondering about Frank. Also they are just cool.

Whose silver FC is that? Colin was driving the miata back then, as I recall.

No, Kevin, I don't want your used tires. I just asked that you get them dismounted and bring them back without any tires at all, once you're done.

Now I remember that sex altered silver car of Collin's, that was one I think we'd all rather forget. Different in every way from the one he has now - that thing is fast.

What's happening with Kevin's party?

PS, the Silver One takes it's third trip into Atlanta today, after some major work over the weekend. This could be my best FB yet!

And I have to post this blow up photo of The Rat's Nest that I made to double check the vacuum connections at the intake manifold. Ain't it a thing of beauty?
