this is someting that I have been doing
recently when croosing my vette: I see what sot of poker hand is represented by the lisense plate in
front of me. Does not apply to FE powered cars since there is neverone in
front.

The rules are that the numbers 1 through 0 are the same as the number cards,
with a zero being a ten.
The letter O is the same as a zero.
The letters A through J are converted to the numbers 1 through 10 (A=1, B=2,
etc.)
For instance, A or the number 1 are both azes, B or the number 2 are both twos,
etc.
The letter J can be either a ten or a jack
The letters Q and K are queen and king respectavely
There are no "flushes"

For instance, my license plate of "McD00" would be three tens - pretty good!

I have seen a cople of full houses, but that's the best I've seen.\

this is a perfect example of why one should never actually use the large rolling paper in the Cheech and Chong album.

fastraxsg, I've Googled on that oil and keep drawing blanks. It must be some formulation geared for those driving near the equator (i.e. HUMID), like where YOU are. Perhaps has more rust inhibitors to ward off moisture?

RedBarchetta, I'm worried it's a cheap oil repacked to looks like SMO. I've never seen any motor oil sold by STP other than here in Indonesia. It was on sale at $ 3.00 a quart, things here are normally sold in liters. I've looked all over the web trying to find it.

McDoo, maybe you could start a new thread, you're kinda off topic....

Actually they are too far out in front for you to see them.

WTF!x3
Someone had too much recreational RX in the 60's. Back to the therapy for you Dr. Space Shot.

Sorry Fastrax, couldn't find any overview on your oil. I just wonder how old that stuff must be considering the lack of information available.
