I am to busy driving my car to worry about car shows.  |

I heard a funny line...
... an electrical engineer friend of mine said to me the other day " You know Pat, a small block is like a civil engineer." Of course, I had no idea what he meant and asked him to explain. His explanation was that "real engineers," be they electrical, chemical, mechanical, or nuclear, view civil engineers as being a joke -- wannabe engineers, if you will. After he explained it to me, it made perfect sense in comparing smalll blocks to FEs. What an apt expression.... |

I'm sure glad I'm a Mechanical Engineer....I wouldn't want to be a joke in Patrick's eyes.  |

Brent, I have absolutely no doubt that you were howling with laughter when reading that post (and agreeing with it, as well).  |
