GOOD pair? Who said anything about a GOOD pair... we just said sunglasses.. why do you always go to the extreme?.. lol... My last dozen pairs or so have been the 2/$15 kind from the mall/convenience store/ anywhere else I can find them..

I used to buy those $100+ Oakleys... now there are many stylish fish in Belews Creeks and the Ohio river... said the hell with THAT..

Need to get a couple gallons of oil tonight.. to do an oil change.. I figure once every couple years I'll do a real change.. lol...

Hey crazy thought.. Gasoline is made from oil.. right? It is refined, though, right? to get rid of all the impurities? Makes it cleaner, right? Ok, follow me with this..

Oil has impurities that scratch the metal inside your engine.. so.. use gasoline to lube it instead.. no more scratches.. engine will last virtually FOREVER!

PLUS!.. Gasoline is lighter than oil.. for a weight reduction, less friction means more RPMs.. All this should combine for at LEAST 10 Bhp... and greater 1/8-1/4 mile times.. great "flickability" in the turns...


How come no one thought of this before? I am a GENIUS!
