But I really wanted to get the valves checked, as it had been something like 14K miles for those things. Figured it was better to make sure all was fit before flogging the car along backroads for 1000 miles.

Glen, you are one lucky SOB with that email. I never seem to get 'em.

Darn, all I got was Federal Express in Nigeria have an undeliverable package that was damaged and has important papers with my email address and an ATM card with 2.5 million in the account. Says they just need me to send them my information for them to put the money in my account and send me the documents.

It isn't technically a spam folder. I can login on-line and view all the emails I've received that have been automatically rejected as spam. They are never actually delivered to my email server.

I am suspicious that it MIGHT be a scam. The email came from: FBI info@liee.com and that is the People Republic of China. I wonder why the FBI is using Chinese email service? I guess it was to save money by outsourcing. I bet that is it! We all know how Federal agencies always want to save the taxpayers money. I should just send my checking account info so they can deposit the money right into my account!

Definitely do the direct deposit. You can trust the Chinese since they don't value money. That's why everything is so cheap. I don't see a downside here.

Need to set up a bank account in the Cayman islands and have them deposit it there so you don't have to claim any taxes on it.

Would like to see the reaction if they actually did get account information to deposit it in the Caymans.

I know my luck. The Cayman bank account I would set up would trigger an IRS watch and then a major audit and they would decide I must be super smart and sneaky to hide all that money. I would get prison time for sure.

Morning all.
We are off to the PCA breakfast this morning.
The episode of My Classic Car is the one filmed last year in French Lick. I was there as he filmed the Abarth Carrera. I have not see the rest of the show as yet.

I removed a small pine tree from my yard. Stump and all. And yeah, I'm a clean shaven lumberjack.

Reminds me of a guy that worked for me. He is married. His twin brother worked as a bouncer at a nudy bar. They partied together as did the dancers and often visited his house. One of the dancers even lived in his spare room for a while.

Anyway, back when women first started doing the waxing thing he told about one of the dancers coming over. She was excited talking about her latest wax job and immediately dropped her drawers showing it off. She had a bald beaver. It was the first sighting I'd heard of one in the wild. She asked if he wanted to touch it. Said before he got a chance to answer his wife told him to go ahead because it wasn't hers.
