Would it have been possible for me to have seen the meteor on Thurs. night? I swear I saw something for about 1 second that was larger than a shooting star falling from the sky.

Wonder if Walmart carries that

There is a place called the Pee Mart that does.

Some of us will probably end up in an asylum.

It is possible that some of us are already in that asylum.

"ABARTHsylum"

I used to really want a double bubble Fiat ABARTH Zagato.

I was totally crushed when I finally was able to buy one and found I didn't fit in it.

(Trying for the thread drift award here.)

I wonder where we can drift this to? Question Bill H : Do you think you could drift a Abarth (if you could fit in it)? All who wander are not lost

I probably could on dirt or gravel, with dune buggy experience. But no rear engine experience on hard tracks, so I would probably spin off the track in terminal oversteer.

I also wonder if that little 750 engine had enough oomph to get a good drift going on a high-traction surface.

Shoe size also enters into who fits and who doesn't.

Whatcha got? I just recently upgraded to an L3200DT

I hate when my tractor smells like coyote.

(I am trying to get back on the topic)

Trying to stay on topic, too.......Our tractor smells like Rataway. I used to love the smell of castor oil mixed with a little methanol, but this Rataway mixed with diesel exhaust is growing on me. I am dreaming up a coyote urinal. We live totally surrounded by jillions of them. There's just gotta be a way to get them to pee where I can collect it. Maybe a fireplug

is that not the fuel they used to use in F III and midget racers? ...I'm sure a similar aroma.

For me, it goes back to the early '50s and model airplanes and model boats. As a teen ager, I had a moped with a model airplane fuel injection system that put a stream of methanol/nitro/castor oil in the intake tract. Used the same thing on Go-Karts. Also raced a kneeler outboard hydroplane that ran on premix, which always included castor oil and if needed, a little methanol or even nitro. Later Blendzall castor oil in 2 cycle race bikes. And some Klotz that had castor and nitro.

Also still get off on the smell of Castrol R on hot metal from, say, a Norton Manx, at the classic road races.
