So a penguin limps his broken down car into a small Arizona town's garage. He approaches the mechanic, and says "my car is not running properly, and it keeps dying on me, can you get this fixed?"

The mechanic replies "sure thing, drop it off here, and come back in an hour or so, and I'll see if I can find the problem"

So the penguin does so, and goes about town looking for something to cool himself off with, since the hot Arizona sun is beating down on him. He walks into a small grocery store, and immediately spots a jug of vanilla ice cream and purchases it.

He goes to sit down and eat the ice cream realizing he cannot quite grip the spoon with his fins, so he dives in, beak first to devour the cold ice cream.

An hour or so passes, and the penguin, with a messy ice cream laden beak walks up to the mechanic, and asks him if the problem is fixed.

The mechanic utters, "looks like you blew a seal"

The penguin replies "no, I just had vanilla ice cream"

+1. Seriously.

Dan, good post. Kid sounded like a douche and the Mom a wuss.

And yeah, I've worked retail for years. People don't even know you exist if you work retail. You'd be surprised about what you overhear, or get asked, at a B&N. People talk about their sex lives, or lack thereof, right in front of us.

Funniest people are the creepy old ladies who hang out by the sex section. The ones who are like 60 and go fake bake and need to wear more clothes. They kinda look like what you'd get it you took someone decent looking earlier in life and made em into a raisin. One of them asked about a kama sutra, then asked if we have anything in New Age about mind control. I **** you not.

OK... soooo much to post on

Since Mike said it was "under the hood" I guess that's about the only thing he can do that won't cuase the car to explode @ 45K miles


Yes.... I laughed at the joke... I was thinking of that old song "wet dream" when I read that... The guy took his barracuda into the shell station... when the mechanic told him he'd blown a seal...

He said.. Keep my personal life out of this and just fix the damn car.

He flipped him a fin... pn porpose.



I played Ferza 2 tonight. Ed bought it. I have to admit, that it's a great game from what i saw. SOME of the music is annoying, but overall not bad.

I knew it was a good game when I drove the Audi R8 ( LeMans car ) on Sebring and the kept the bumps in on turn 13.

Is it normal that I already find myself wanting an exhaust?

Yeah.... if you behave yourself, you can get between 24-28 MPG on those LS1-LS2 motors. easily.
I've heard C6 guys that get 32 on long extended higway trips.

BTW... PAZ!!!

Are you ever going to Autocross again??? You paid all that money for the helmet and # plates, and we've not seen you there in a long time.....

Sunday is the last event until the end of the month.

Yay, she is fast again. 21psi w/ 23 degrees of timing. Still needs more but we think there may be a bad injector so we stopped last night.

I assume Als car is fixed too since he didn't call, waiting for him to post up.

I am now ready to run any select GTOs from a dig as requested.

Real world stuff there I think. I didn't see Alicia's gt online last night.



As for auto-x, I've just been super busy. I'm not sure about this weekend. I'll try to make it... but we might be doing graduation stuff this weekend.
