Chief, I hear ya. I'm at least 8 shots of espresso per day, along with a variety of other entertaining compounds. "Better living through chemistry", ya dig? Two weeks ago I had the bright idea that I'd quit cold turkey. I have this idea about once every 3-4 years & for whatever reason I forget about the pain and misery that happens with low intake levels. Holy crap, that's all I'm gonna say. I felt like a junkie without the smack.

I buy Extreme NOS (200mg caffeine/bottle) by the case: http://musclesurf.com/nos-pumped.html. It's sugar free!

Remember:
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming Hoo-Ya, what a ride!

+1 on the quote Janet! As far as the t-shirt link goes - "totally awesome!" and my shopping cart keeps filling up.

I really like this one:
"It takes a real man to drive a little car."

Dude, you're always either too hot or too cold. How often are you "comfy"? Oh, separate topic - Dr.Steve, I ordered the Forge unit & had it sent to Dr.Steve Perry.

Yeah, work sucks. I'm having to remove the entire dash on a MINI to get to the ac evaporator. It seems easier than the Frackturedmobile since all the bolts are accessible, but it's still a long job. Too bad you aren't here to help since you did a lot of the disassembly of that one. Have a nice holiday.

I can't believe how many sales people come into the shop and ask me what I do. And when I tell them that I service and repair Mini Coopers they ask, "What is a Mini Cooper?" Where have these people been hiding? Fresno has hundreds, at least, and I'm sure the Valley has thousands.

Dr.Steve, I'm jazzed about our engine build the 7-9th!! I'm guessing you have a Quaife source where we can get a unit on the fly if my turns out to be a bad apple. Lemme know if I need to do research on that topic.

Found this story, WTHMS?: Heroin-fueled MINI crash.

If someone asks me once more where they are made, I might just say "In a factory."

They are trying to sell items however they fail to realize that the first thing they have to sell is themselves and having some knowledge of the product might be the first clue they need to get.
