Sign up if you want your birthday printed on the OGTA calendar, I'm working it up now. Here's what I got so far:

Crit: 01-13-??
Chris: 01-18-1990
Ray: 08-16-1952

Please add your name and birthday to the list, with year so we can tell just how Old you are. I'll add them to the calendar, which should be ready in the next day or two.

Yes, once you use the proper tool you will be pissed at the all the time you have spent in the past screwing with those things. I want the 1% of my life back!

Hell no I'm not going to get an FB!

However, I might spring for something nicer...or at least more fuel efficient. I haven't decided yet, my budget is a problem.. So..

95-99 Maxima's feel pretty nice, can be cheap, and are decent on gas. I get 20 delivering, 22/23 mixed and 26-28 highway. If you really want a nice one, get an 00-03 charcoal gray SE with black leather interior, the BOSE system, 6 speed manual, and the 3.5 VQ just like the one in the Z Look at me, talking about a boinger... I need to start on the FC pronto.

Dave, you can't talk any sense into these young guys with 13B's, if it doesn't have a ton of electronic gadgets and handle like a tank they don't get it.

But at least I'm totally impressed, 26.5 mpg is very cool.

I was sorting thru the box-o-stuff I got from Kevin Gallo when I bought his transmission.
I was spreading the various items out in the garage with no particular rhyme or reason.

The next afternoon my son calls me and asks "what the heck are you doing to the mower!"
