That is so true!  Even my 37-year-old (1985) Caddy Eldorado just doesn't seem *THAT* old, but it is as old as a 1948 car was in 1985!!  Crazy!  It is all in our perception of time.

I've heard it more than once: "it's tragedy when it happens to you, it's comedy when it happens to someone else..."

Always liked Delbert, he would tell it like it is. 

In a previous life, I had a Dogbert with a Magic 8 ball kinda thing on the bottom.  People would frequently stop by my cube and ask why I had it.  I would tell them I can turn it over and get a better answer from Dogbert's butt than corporate.

Is painting the pistons and the cylinder bores a new racer secrete? Maybe painting the crank shaft and the bearings might help.

They should've use gloss on the pistons so they slide smoother - would probably add 15 horsepower at LEAST!

Hey man...that engine paint has "ceramic" in it, and according to some 14-year-old on Facebook (an expert because he once opened the hood on his mom's Camry, and who heard it somewhere authoritative), it's just exactly the same as those expensive plasma coatings the race guys get.

Was that the same video where they tell you to turn your pistons around and it changes the timing and you get extra horsepower FOR FREE?*
 

*I know there are cases where that’s possible on certain engines - but I’m sure they’re few and far between.

What was the question? I got confused trying to put my Depends on backwards.

Those flames are "bassakward" I think.

That's because the flames start at the back (gas tank) of the Pinto as soon as something even touches the rear bumper.  I would think you're old enough to remember that. :)
