Casey,

My goodliestssss friend Mr. Miller only understands basic words like "Where does the gas go in?" "Yes & No." Which explains his most recent obsession of getting a tach working in his soon to be AAZ conversion. It will a struggle enough to have to teach Mike to pump diesel instead of gasoline beginning next week. I am not certain he can be taught how to use a manual boost controller.

Mike, you should have stuck with the M3. It'll drive fine at 5,000 feet above my level.
