    Crap, I answered this, but where's the reply.
    Apparently vanished into thin ether....

    I've had some issues with e-mail too. There are
    reports not only of nonreceipt of my messages,
    which is normal, but messages that have been
    received, archived, and disappeared (this on
    the recipient's side, which raises the level
    of mystery a notch).

    I have to take your word for it - you experienced
    it first hand, I'm just guessing and going on what
    I have read.
    Had the same experience with my Dodge Shadow.... again, it was with a turbocharged engine, which might be a major piece of it... :)

    I hesitate to speculate, having no idea what
    turbocharging is or what it has to do with
    automobile engines.

    Crappity doodle. I distinctly recall having said
    something about California gasoline being formulated
    with ethanol, with all cars sold there (I originally
    said here, but I'm not there any more) being
    adapted for that kind of fuel.
    And that is now the case pretty much across the board, both with the gas having the ethanol, and the cars being all adapted to be able to use
    it.... I was talking of a time and a car of at least three decades ago...

    That's the 1980s ... like last month to me.

    I think there are other kinds of octane boosters.
    I don't know what they are or whether they are still
    being sold. Dave is the expert on that.
    As I said, this was at least 3 decades ago.. it was an 82 Aries, and
    said car totally died somewhere around 1990... I don't think the ethanol experience hastened the demise... it had plenty of other issues... ;)

    That company as I recall didn't have the
    greatest of reputations - see recipe below.

    associated with one of the great shoulda woulda
    couldas of my life, which was very fun.
    That certainly wouldn't have hurt the impression, for sure... :)
    Nup. She was quite cute, a little plump (never
    a problem), but definitely looking for that
    MRS degree.
    And that last scared you off...? ;)

    Rather.

    that it irritates me sometimes. The only real
    source of cavil is her tendency to boost the
    economy of mainland China. Other than that, there
    is a potential speculation regarding her current
    interest in clocks (buying time) and thermometers
    (I can't even guess).
    Sometimes it's best not to.... ;)
    ... Eat healthy, exercise, get plenty of sleep -- die healthy!
    I've seen "die anyway" at the end.
    Yup, so have I.... ;)

    SOW, I responded to an email from you a little while ago... did you get
    my response...? I heard nothing back from you.

    Yes, probably 1984-5 or so... And that could explain a thing or
    three... ;)

    The Aries was our only really bad experience with ChryslerCorp... and it
    was only a grapefruit, not quite a lemon....
