Default The Definitive Answer to the Regular Gas Debate

You've probably seen the debate raging on whether you can use regular gas in the Corvette.

I've done extensive research and found the definitive answer to the problem. The answer has been staring us in the face

You must never use regular because it's against the 7th Commandment



There you go; my Xmas gift to the Forum. No more gas debates

Thanks Dee Gee

Not only does it answer the fuel question, but it answers 9 others as well. I am very sorry to admit that I have broken at least 2. My bad.

Oh, and merry Christmas to all.

Finally...Dave found the "Golden Fleece"*...I always knew that weak pantherpiss crap should not be used in our beloved C5s...
Merry Christmas Dave...

*Golden Fleece

by James Hunter

The Golden Fleece was the treasure sought by Jason and the Argonauts. It originated in the following fashion. Phrixus and Helle were the children of Athamus and the goddess Nephele. When Athamas remarried, the children's stepmother, Ino, became jealous of them and plotted to get rid of them. She arranged to have seed-corn roasted so that it would not sprout. When the crop failed, messengers were sent to consult the oracle at Delphi, and Ino persuaded the messengers to say that that the oracle required the sacrifice of Phrixus to restore fertility to the fields. Before Phrixus could be sacrificed, however, Nephele sent a golden ram which carried both children off through the air. Helle fell into the Hellespont (which was named after her), but Phrixus arrived safely at Colchis, where he married the daughter of King Aeetes. Phrixus sacrificed the ram to Zeus, and gave its pelt (the Golden Fleece) to Aeetes. Aeetes placed the fleece in an oak tree, where it remained until Jason arrived to claim it.

That's a classic Dave!!Must admit that I have sinned against 1-2&4 though!!!On a few occasions I've let the wife and my sons take her out. #2 usually once in the spring I'll run her through a touch less wash that has the undercarriage spray as I DO drive through the winter and am sure there is some salt residue there,,and #4 I do a lot of my own work,,there IS going to be(and has been)the occasion for the occasional exremity mishap that will elicit a "colorful" exclamation!!Merry Christmas back at you Dave,,and raise ya a HAPPY NEW YEAR to boot!!!
