I don't think safety is anything to joke about. I always ensure that I have
adequate ventilation. The only time it gets tricky is every morning when I
epoxy my fake mustache on. The smell usually wears off by noon...or at
least that's when I stop noticing.

I think I have the position correct, it's slightly to the left of center
behind the headrest. I totally missed the swinging chain though, I used a
section of I-beam. That must be why my ride is rough. I'll be sure and
straighten that out first thing tomorrow.

What, no Cad plating? I thought you were serious!

Aha! I'm one step ahead of you. You think you're so smart. I've already
crazy glued my entire van together. In addtion, I drained my brake fluid
and padlocked the master cylinder so that would-be thieves can't get it open
to refill it.

Correction, that's the simplest way. The best way is to remove the
expansion tanks and vent the lines directly behind the front seats. In
addition, increase the fuel pressure to 90 PSI. Then relocate the cigarette
lighter to that general vicinity on a remote switch. Instant light! Who
needs matches. I credit you for the simple idea though.

No, It was going to be, but then we found out that's the nickname of some
hunchbacked fellow in San Francisco. Now it's lucky 13.

I have to correct you again. BenT = AFU = misaligned, distorted, twisted,
deformed, etc.
Happy Friday
