What, no Asia trip???

I should go crazy and ready to kill people in mid January as winter will get
it's toll on me, we had no summer, fall is horrible, i just hate that stupid
country of mine, well, i should say that i hate winter as bad as you can
hate something.

I have to inspect 2 or 3 vans that are getting ready for a trip to Mexico,
grrrrr....

I have to test a 2009 Subaru engine, test period in the owner manual says:
8kmiles trip to Mexico, suggested period: Cold weather to optimize testing.

Now let's bog Mr. Poole
