The message below was embedded three deep in attachment land. After going to the incredible trouble of opening all those levels and reading it, I wished I hadn't. Lessons learned from this: 1. Don't embed messages. Put them right out front. 2. Never read anything that quotes Car & Driver [should have know that since I've read the original since it was Sports Car Graphic] 3. Be really careful reading anything from someone named Carol Sussman. 4. Under no circumstances try anything she suggests. 5. Wake up before you respond to any messages on the list. Mike '85 Westy [Just one more cup of coffee and I'll be fine] In Car & Driver magazine some years back one of the columnists recounted his (unsuccessful) attempt to discreetly relieve himself by utilizing a technigue premised on the applicability of the venturi effect to liquid released near the airstream created by a slightly opened driver's door. I don't remember the details (didn't take notes since this requires hardware not specific to my gender) but apparently a speed of at least 65mph was a crucial component for successful expulsion of fluid from the vehicle. I'm sure it could work for most of this group--- any empiricists out there?! Carol Sussman |
