I am really diggin' the way this thread is meandering all over the place, touching on topics that are for some "hot button issues", but so far hasn't taken on any type of nastiness...kudos to all y'all.
It speaks highly of the character posessed by the average VX owner. (if there is such a thing)

I've been around here long enough to remember the "debate" over the Bush/Kerry election thing, and IMO, that was not our finest hour.

Guns, plants, animals, fungi, & microbes aside...I did get my PITA fuel line replaced. Had to remove the EGR again to acess the hose clamps...I had it all back together the first time & it still leaked (toasted a brand new hose clamp)ARGHHHHH !
My boss is so cool, when I finally got to work about 1:30, he gave me my paycheck...& it was bigger than it was supposed to be.
Not being one who can keep his big mouth shut, I said "dude, that's more than I've got coming", to which he replied..."that's OK, you're worth it."

For a day that started out a little on the crappy side, it sure took a turn for the better.

Let's keep this thread going as a kind of general "sounding board" for whatever is on your mind...whaddya all think ?
