Well put, although #1 will be highly disputed.

I guess swappin over to foil fuses was necessary due to the price increase on .22cal shells huh?

Maybe there should be the 20 Commandments?


What about the commandment on using PODs and burning in hell? Or at least it will seem like hell when you can't get your SOHC4 running right!  ;D

And the commandment; Thou shall not "cafe" a perfectly restorable vintage SOHC4"
