My neighbor has a '66 Impala with a big (truck?) engine. His problem 
is that the engine torque is large enough and the motor mounts are 
weak enough to tear the motor free from the mounts. This screws up 
linkages which can then cause "unintended acceleration." I guess 
that's exciting. For all the power, he can't drive it anywhere near 
its potential. With a Spridget you can "drive it like you stole it" 
and nobody notices - and you can have alot of fun while "flooring 
it." So what's the fun of gobs of torque breaking your car if you 
even dare to use it?

File this thought under; "He who laughs first . . ."
Ed and the Captain are now on the dole collecting Social Security 
checks each month. For those of you who are still working, just think 
about it this way. That new set of race tires you want, but can't 
afford this month . . . the money for your tires went to Ed and the Captain!!!
