Because if you think about it, you have to take them for checks-up (I.E. the tuners), you have to give them baths (and a good waxing!) and you have to feed them (lots and lots of expensive gas.) So we're not missing out on anything! Except for screaming for lollipops!
Wow, a college professor from NE with an FRC with a head/cam package. You must have some interesting politics....ha ha.

Seriously, how do you like the Cartek package?

Thank you.
I take it you are childless...?

Nikki, Stephen, what are the songs on that album? I remember the popular "Into the Eyes of a Stranger" but there was another I liked. Have to check iTunes.....

College Professor? Charlie, what have you been smoking? Order Processor (with different spelling) is what I read. I think you need to put the pipe down, Charlie, and step away from the crack...

Charlie,
It's from the "Empire" album - I have to look it up to see what else was on that album. I'm at work now.

Duh, the song I was looking for was the name of the album: "Operation Mindcrime" - time for another coffee.

And that other song was just "Eyes of a Stranger" - just bought those songs on iTunes. Took the Vette to work today so I can play those on the way home....woooohooooo.
