The Interwebs are a strangle and myserious plays were ewe can find the craziest stuff.



When you search for "steve on a roll" and you're expecting some sort of weird pic of a dude photoshopped onto a sandwich roll, you may instead find stuff for what I assume is a children's book about dung beetles named Steve. Since you're the guy on a roll, I'm going to take comfort that I'm not the dung beetle in this case.

Completely separate subject. Many years ago, I was a bartender in a place with a kitchen. One of the employees came up to order some food. She said "Can I get a plate of noodles with a little alfredo on it." I just laughed and laughed. For whatever reason, I pictured a plate of noodles on the stainless counter in the back with an Italian little person sitting on the plate of noodles. Yeah, his name was "Alfredo."

Unfortunately, the Internet has really let me down on that photoshop (or not) as well. I'm sure that they are both out there somewhere...

But at least I capitalized "Interwebs" since "Internet" is a proper noun and should be capitalized, at least, when talking about "the Internet."

The MM engine should be fine as long as they install a cool collar.

Stopped clock is right twice a day (unless it's a 24 hour clock). My guess is they were more like a calendar, so probably only right once a month, unless they were stuck on the 31st, and then closer to every other month.

I’m embarrassed, but in my early air cooled days, I actually had one of those for a short time.😵*💫

But to compliment that comment 80% of those cars with MM rebuilds are still on the road.

(I'm here all week. Try the veal.)

i am never amazed at how bad people advertise something for sale.
one or two pics of a car they are asking 100k for? really.

when i sold my 77s i took pics of EVERYTHING. i put it on stands and took pics of pan, suspension, you name it. the flares, the inside of the flares as they were butt welded.
