Well, lordy lordy, listen to you talk. My comments were in the context of hyperbole, being the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech to evoke an emotion to create a strong impression, but was not meant to be taken literally, it was merely in the light hearted banter vein, albeit it with just a touch of irony added for drama effect, which apparently worked for you: I thank you.
Of course I am in China, thus the corollary of that being if I wasn't, I would be forced to walk.
As far as being pessimist I am entirely the opposite, I am an absolute optimist and according to Danr and some of the other Arizona club members bordering on the naiveté since I have placed my faith and trust in Roush to resolve their issues associated with their 511 engine and the Bowler 4R70W automatic transmission. Hell, I even left my keys in the car when left California and told the guys to sort it out. I am hearing they have fixed the tranny issues and are piling miles on the car as we speak, sorta like if I let DWRAT store my car.
Now Dave, pay attention: bearing in mind I had just closed the deal on a US$125,000 car that only went 78 miles and then refused to budge an inch and made horrible noises when I attempted to start it, I believe if you were in my shoes you would allow just a teeny weeny bit of pessimism to be floating around in yo' haid if you wuz like me, half way around the world, you think that has any merit?
No harm no foul, Dave, just idle banter.
Hey its Saturday night for me and Saturdays are my day for idle banter.
