Thanks!

I am not a big fan of white, but when my car is sitting with a bunch of other C4's, I look at it and like it more and more!

You do know that Edelbrock bought his company back from stockholders. I don't know the finer details but I assume the shareholders were demanding overseas do the manufacturing. So instead of laying down, he paid the stockholders off and pulled his company off the stock market.

This is exactly why oil prices are going crazy. There is no reason why oil should be $120 a barrel. There's no shortage. It's purely shareholders cashing in and most are overseas where their currency is stronger then our dollar. It's a ploy to break the back of this country. Seems to be working. I don't think oil should be a traded commodity. Stocks must show an increase every year to make shareholders happy. It's designed to run companies out of business. There's a point where the company just can't turn more profit. So begin the job cuts, which for some odd reason makes the stock price go up. It's short lived because now the company cannot make production numbers as they had been. Enron manipulated it's stocks. I see what's happening with oil right now as another Enron sham. The FEC is looking into shady inflation at this time. We'll know in ten years what they are doing today. Tax payers will pick up the tab....as usual.
