As a matter of fact...I DO!!!
When I work in the garage sweat keeps running in my eyes. So I tie a wrag around my head to keep it from dripping down. That WAS what you meant...right???

Relax, dude , just makin' conversation. Your right about keeping money in this country though. It's pretty much ADM's ballgame - their guys wrote the law, and it pretty much says E-85 & RFG gets made with their corn. It's all a joke anyway, you know who pays in the end, so to speak...

Oh and I wear an Raider hat. Dang sun on the (big) bald spot and all.

Cheers, Hans

you think THAT helps your image?

you think ADM is evil?

And Exxon/Mobile is the working mans friend

I'd put E85 in my vette right now cause i like to experiment and if it worked i'd use it as much as possible.

I know.......I know......My head will explode and i will die if i do that, just like i did when i slip fit my rear bearings.
