Ah, you have been getting a little too serious 'round here lately. I thought it was time to interject some humor... at your expense of course.


DontchajustLOVEme??

DALE!!! Three weeks before your son's birthday? Naughty, NAUGHTY BOY!!!

I guess you just squeaked that one in under the wire. 'Must've made for an interesting honeymoon?

Yeah sorry about that. I just hate it when folks take on the air of authority and then make recommendations that are not phylically possible; I fear that folks whom don't know any better will be swayed by such recommendations and spend money they don't have in the hope of getting better economy, or worse, somehow damage their car in the process of the installation.

Who me? It was one of those things; we met in January when we were both 35 (neither having been married before), started dating in March, got pregnant in May, got married in January and became parents in February. Heck of a year.

I'll try to reply to this tomorrow. I'm just too tired tonight to think clearly.

As he indicated, Dale has a problem with the "Butt Dyno." That is, someone that has modified their car for either performance or economy and feel that the improvement actually worked but has not been scientifically verified.
For what it's worth, I agree with him on many of his points, but mine is based solely on personal experience. When I got into cars, it was all rial and error and few if any scientific tools to verify a single persons' findings.
We raced, and if our car felt faster, was faster (by means of winning a race we would'veost before) then we assumed that what we had tried worked!! And if it didn't, we went back to the drawing board to try something else.
Basically that's the story behind the scenes.

He is so passionate about his stand that I thought it might be time to lighten to mood a bit. I know from other communications that Dale DOES have a sense of humor, so I was pretty sure he would take my ribbing in the spirit to which I had intended.
