LOL That is how some of my friends hear my conversations with my car buddy. Of course, that is how I hear when anyone talks about computers: You need a blah blah drive interfaced with a blah blah so that you can then blah to the blah.

I too am a fan. Cammed motors are close to throaty and raspy, but they sound almost as if they are skipping a combustion cycle (blah blah). Think lumpy, uneven. They are for max performance at high RPMs, so at idle it's as though they do not know what to do with themselves. If you have been to any races, when you hear a race car at idle, that is the sound. Anyone else have a description?

Brunch Head Count

Now that the brunch meet is only a day away (thank you Annie), can I get a head count? If we have more than six, I will arrive early to see about getting a large table.

Absolutely, I love driving in the snow. Besides I still need to get to work, but now it is got to jail, go directly to jail, do not go south first then drive up joliet road to route 53 then take the stevenson downtown.

I was out in it last night, so I don't mind going today. And after shoveling the driveway last night, I'm hungry for pancakes. Anyone else?

Tell you what, Sakura has not been on the expressway for a week, so I will be there at 11. Hopefully 1 or 2 people show so I am not the loser sitting my himself? I'll bring MazdaSport and Metropolis just in case.
