As I understand it, the sole reason it is now prohibited is that the color of brake fluid must be clear or amber. As to "morality," we've got enough Al's around here as is, we certainly don't need any more.

Hey, I have no problem with you using a Federally-banned substance since 2013. I know that you know which Federally-banned substances to use or not use.

It's still legal in the land down under. I'm sure there are a few guys on here that would happily send you a can or two. Remember, Australia started out as a penal colony.

That little thread on 4048 is indeed a Waltz, maybe even a Beguine, through the Gates of Hell itself.

Someone here in my workplace comes from Australia and I just reminded him of that fact yesterday. And it's ironic that he had to spend an extra week in his homeland, over the holidays, because of visa problems trying to re-enter the US.

As for the brake fluid, blue, amber or clear, doesn't matter to me as long as nothing ends up on the floor or on my car.

Every fluid in my car has dripped at one time or another and that's one reason I like different colors for different fluids. My oil is green, my coolant is green, my brake fluid is gold, but soon to flip back to blue, and the transmission is red. Some of the old Mobil1 grease had separated from the wax and left a small red puddle at the front of the car late last year -- that threw me for a while. I had changed to Schaeffer's a few years ago, which drips brown, but there's still some Mobil1 floating around in there.

As I read, I am glad the true essence of the club is still present.

We ARE the largest unbiased Cobra club/site in the world. People are welcome from all walks and with that, we DO protect that freedom.

Evan was a member.

His personality is one we may reflect on as we meet new members.

Hmm....

Well put. I think anyone that crosses the welcome mat and comes through the door into our house should be treated as a new friend first. After all, we welcomed them in the first place.

The sofa is in his garage. That's why he can't push his car two feet forward or backward (from the "How Do I Avoid Tire Flat Spots" thread).
