BTW: We hold weekly wrenching sessions at my house in San Francisco - usually on Tuesday nights; if you're local and want to attend; there's a Yahoo group called BernalDads that you're welcome to join; which is where the event is announced.

Now get a spark plug mounted in your exhaust and a switch on the dash to scare cars behind you..
