Well I drove my car 4 hours last night without a break down, over heating, clanging or banging in bumper to bumper traffic with a clutch.
I must know something about cars?
Well, my mother can drive her car for 4 hours with no problems, and I don't think she even knows how to open the hood!!!!!

Seriously, tho, I know what ya mean. You sound like an old-school hotrodder who learned his trade back in the 70s, maybe? I got my license back in 1981, and I remember those days fondly..........big carbs, big cams, a 4-speed and lots of rear end gear, that was the name of the game back then. But it's the 21st century now, TimH. Things have changed since those days.

Hey, you still driving around with the open headers? Yer gonna get a ticket sooner or later!!!!!
