My lower had freed itself from the hub which is why I heard a loud *** pop every time I hit a driveway at the right angle...

The mechanical bond got loose somehow..

Update on poker run for those of you that want to attend.

MWR family,

Here is the information for this Saturdays event. I spoke with the manager
of A&E classic cars and he is happy to let us stage at this cool location.
Here are the rules of engagement.

I will act as lead car. We will meet at A&E at 10:00. I will bring donuts
and coffee for those interested. After looking at cars for a short time we
will depart at 10:30.

At each card location I will have the deck that each paying player will draw
from ($5 per player). As officiating dealer I will record the results as we
go. Standard 5 card poker hands apply. In case you happen to draw the
exact same card twice you can then wild card it to the card of your choice.
At the end of the run, best hand wins. In case of a tie in hands, those
members will redraw a hands until a winner is found.

I have my number on the map and will have extra maps. I anticipate the
drive to take around an hour and half and we will get to the food around
12:30.

We look forward to anyone and everyone who wants to participate or just come
for the drive.


If you're interested let me know and I will send you a word document for the map and directions.

I knew it.

Yamanouchi also did not hide his love of the rotary engine tradition, stating in order to clear up recent speculation of the end of Renesis, "So long as I remain involved with this company, and I have been here 44 years and have no current retirement schedule, there will be a rotary engine offering or multiple offerings in the lineup."

You would need a lot more than five rotors.
