And to me it's "powerplant porn." I look at those pretty new engines, I read about how nice they are to drive. I want one. Can't afford one. I sigh. Paying mortgage is far less satisfying. Maybe when the last kid is launched Mrs Squirrel and I will do some serious wandering. Sell the house, buy a new engine.
