Hmmmm. The Justwait and Loogy families getting together to socialize, and
maybe even...breed. Imagine the results of *that* sort of
cross-pollinization...an entirely new breed of semi-human that spends its
days walking repeatedly into brick walls.

Herring lives in Virginia...I'm sure he'd welcome a few more trailers on
his front lawn for the "visit."

Have you noticed that ANYTHING that is mentioned, Harry has it, does
it, much better and bigger than anybody else? I'd love to see a
picture that would prove the existence of that Jag in a "hermetically
sealed warehouse" along with his lobster boat, and some evidence of
his father's infamous trip across the Atlantic and back in a runabout
leading to a fireboat welcome in NYC!!!!


On another note, remember the before pics of the problem I had? I'll
be sending some updates soon.


Cool, glad to hear things are coming back to normal... *I will be
awaiting the pics. Hope CoolBreeze is doing better too. Is that clutch
hand out of the cast yet? If not, I have a bike that's one speed..

Yep, she hasn't put the velcro cast for the clutch hand on in awhile,
it's still a little stiff. The throttle hand is coming along, she'll
need physical therapy on that, but it's a velcro cast now too. She got
in the pool yesterday evening, was good to see!- Hide quoted text -

That's awesome man.. Now we just need to find someone about half way
between our houses with some property.. Looks like Roanoak is about 8

have a wrecked boats block party;) ??


There used to be a big area just south of where I live that was full of
dirt bikers every weekend. Now it's called 'Kingstown'. Needless to say,
there's no room for the dirt bikers any more. I don't know where they ride
now. Hell, maybe they go to West Virginia someplace.

I think we are talking two different things here. I am not referring
to motor oil. I am talking about gasoline.
The point the chemist was making was that gas is gas when initially
refined from crude. What differentiates the different brands is the
type and amount of additives they use. Mobil claims to have twice the
amount required by EPA standards. Chevron touts it's "Techron" or
whatever. Shell uses their proprietary "V Power" in the high test.
Each of these additives are required to minimize deposits, but each is
a different formulation or amount.

So, gas may be gas. But the gas you buy at Mobil is different than
the gas you buy at Shell ... or Chevron. That was his point, and I
found it interesting that he recommended rotating the brand every 5k
miles to get the full benefit of each of these different additives.

Eisboch



Ok, so where do they take the Hess Gas the trucking contractor filled up
with at 6AM this morning on hsi way to the Shell stations to blend in
this amazing array of chemical magic? There is no Shell refinery within
a thousand miles of Charleston, so it didn't go there. I can tell
because it came from Hess, where everybody fills up their trucks, right
under the Mark Clark Expressway bridge at the Hess tank farm which comes
from the tankers on the dock. All the gas leaving the Hess dump is
exactly the same....and there's NO PLACE for each company to fill up on
additives in between the Hess dump and the local station!

So, knowing this, the gas at Mobil ISN'T any different than the gas at
Raceway because they came to town in the same nasty tanker floating on
top of a film of seawater ballast left over from the last trip.

Drop by, I'll get you aboard to peer into that tanker's tank. It's
nasty!

GAS is a commodity traded on the open market many times before it ends
up in your tank....from the lowest bidder through the jobber network.

It's not CHEVRON TECHRON. They don't sell that at the commodity
exchange. They sell GAS. I'm not even sure they sell different grades
any more! I don't see high test listed differently from GASoline.

and the TECHRON station on Ashley Phosphate Rd about 6 miles away? The
DRIVER doesn't have tanks of "additives" for 5000 gallons of regular.

The answer is quite simple....he doesn't. It's all BULL****...

.....I asked them! I asked the transport contractor driver filling up the

like everyone else, and delivers some here (TEXACO AT MARINA) and some
someplace else like Kangaroo across the bridge. When the truck is empty,
he goes back to the dump for another load. Hell, he showed me all the gas

Wouldn't be a big trick for the Hess depot to have additive dispensers
for the companies it's serving. Not saying they do. But if I cared

I flip flopped as soon as I knew it was not a Dodge, but really a Mercedes.

I am biased against Chrysler products, and I and the rest of the world
do find Mercedes to be a well built quality auto mfg'er.

While I really don't care if anyone else own a Chrysler, based upon
Chrysler products I have driven (but never owned) from have found that
they do not hold up. They shake rattle and roll, and sound like they
are falling apart. Which is why they don't hold up their value as well
as other cars.

Same thing with the Frieghtliner version.

Mercedes has been making this van in various models for years for the
European market.

Eisboch


And for only a few hundred dollars, one could make it a Mercedes again!

While I really don't care if anyone else own a Chrysler, based upon
Chrysler products I have driven (but never owned) from have found that
they do not hold up. They shake rattle and roll, and sound like they
are falling apart. Which is why they don't hold up their value as well
as other cars.


Warp17 is talking about flip flopping?

He was WAFA's nemesis until the two realized they had *zero* friends
here. They along came "Skippy" the puppy dog. And that, my friends, is
how the three stooges were resurrected.

Don, have you noticed that Diseased Krueger, aka DK, and Loogy and
JustWaitaDrool, all respond the same way? You toss them a bit of a bone,
and they post, and post, and post, and post...

They're like pustules that fill up with foul-smelling matter every

I have to admit, it is hard to resist responding to a guy who says you
can be a Christian no matter how much of a monster you are, so long as
you have faith. (JustWait)

The other two schittheads are back my bozo bin, and that means I only
see the rare response to their nonsense the past few days. But it is
unlikely those neutered pussies have changed their stripes.

You're going to be miserable the next 3 days while JimH is gone. He seems to
be the only one who dares to get close enough to you to express your anal
glands for you. Now you got pustules too? How disgusting.

There's only one line and they fill all the tanks from the same huge

the load...


I asked about this (you got me curious) in the auto tech group and was
pointed to this. As Ripley said, believe it or not:
http://www.t-r-i.com/gifs/xGasoline%20Quality.pdf

Excerpt:
"Gasoline Distribution
The great majority of gasoline today is blended at refineries to
either regular or premium specifications and shipped to distribution
terminals via pipelines or on barges.
From the terminal, it is delivered via tank truck to the service
station. If ethanol is used as the oxygenate, it may be blended at the
terminal truck rack during loading.
If the station uses blending dispensers, only regular and premium
products are delivered; the mid-grade product is blended at the
dispenser.
Older stations, with non-blending three-product dispensers will
have all three products delivered, with mid-grade gasoline blended at
the terminal.
Most gasoline is fungible; a terminal may supply the same base
gasoline to different branded outlets, while differentiating the
performance by blending the specific brand?s detergent additive
package at the truck rack. Terminal rack blending operations have
become quite sophisticated, in providing automated additive injection
and data logging for many different additives."

We don't get fuel from tankers. We get it from underground tankage, bigger
than tankers.

All that nonsense aside, my point is the TRUCK DRIVER doesn't have 400
gallons of "additives" to put in the 7000 gallon truck, either.

That's all just bull****.


Tetra ethyl lead was used in quantities of up to six ml per gallon. A
driver could carry that much. There are undoubtly third world
********s with leaded gas
but I don't think drivers have ever handled the pure TEL The bush
pilots of the great white north used to add the stuff to cheap gas.
Little one gallon cans of the pure stuff.
