It's one thirty in the afternoon on a Friday before a holiday and over a
dozen status users have logged in already.  If we advertise on the main
board, we ought to be able to get a group interested in a GT.  So when??

Todd, Henry Ford went on record as saying that he had no use for an
automibile engine that had more cylinders than a cow had teats, but I've
never heard of a  cow that had more than one bag.  Maybe you've got the cow
mixed up with the bull?

A whiner? Somehow, that does not have the same degrading ring to it as
'Bitch' has! Rod's idea of the word son-of-a-Bitch really doesn't work
either because anyone, male or female can be that, even though, it's mainly
used with men in mind. Anymore ideas? -=*) ANN (*=-

Now that's pretty good! (Dick Head) Has a nice ring to it. But since men
have such a high regard for their dicks ...... how bad can that insult be?
Come to think of it - women have a pretty high regard for men's dicks too!

Why don't you start by replacing your old, polution-producing van with a
newer one that uses unleaded fuel and has far lower emissions?

I just saw this Arizona Theatre Company production at the Scottsdale Center
for the Arts.  I highly recommend it, though it is only showing through
Sunday. 
 
It is a four act, two man play about an American and a Soviet arms control

Emissions testing is the biggest bunch of garbage I ever saw! You can go in
- and not pass, go back the next day without having your car touched, and
pass. It's a terrific way of the government to collect that $7.50 from each
car owner in the valley! Why should any 5 year old car have to be tested to
begin with if Detroit is doing it's job? -=*) ANN (*=-

Tonight's showing of _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade_ at 7pm at the Cine
Capri (24th St and Camelback) will be an unofficial Apollo GT.  Tickets are
$6 ($3 for students and senior citizens (don't know how you prove it)). 
Since this is the largest screen in the valley, well suited for such a film
(_Lawrence of Arabia_ was *great* there) the show might just sell out.  Some
of us are planning to meet 6:30-6:45, but we will have already purchased
tickets.
 
 
Hope to see *you* there!

        My current Van takes unleaded fuel.  I've had it for over a year. 
My previous van took unleaded fuel and I had it for four years.  Both vans
have a six cylinder engine and they passed emissions each year.  I have a
great air-conditioning system in my current van.  It has the newer style
rotary compressor and really puts out cold air.  I used it once and that was
last August when I was taking the kids up north for a vacation.
        Why not get rid of that old Porsche or at least have it tuned up?

let you know what they come to as a total, and then you could write a check,
and I could even mail them to you if you wished.

   Hm, if there wasn't the conspiracy by the gas companies to prevent the
development of electrical cars and other clean-burning engines. As for air
conditioning, that is a difficult one. Swamp coolers work, but only when the
humidity is low. I had thought about a "misting" form of home cooling, but
then again, that will only work when the humidity is low. Have you come
across any brainstorming ideas for a new form of air-cooling system? Please
share if you have.

        Yeah, stop wearing clothing, grow hair over the entire body.  The
hair will serve as insulation both summer and winter.  But it is too late
for that.  How about cold fusion?
