    I've spent many an hour chasing gremlins in an engine. So I don't blame him. He also new it was the coil right away, but had to go through all the steps the warranty people had laid out before he could fix what he already knew was wrong.

    The tech was also an Air Force mechanic. So... Good stories about changing a humvees transmission under fire in Mosul, though. I told him he doesn't get it fixed soon, he's gonna be fixing an audi under fire.

    He laughed. Told me how they took away all their Mk19s because they were blowing too much stuff up. Also said, Audi customers were nightmares to deal with.

    No I adopted this new fangled multi letter acronym system. I was using the binary and trinary systems.

    Sounds like us during the Indy 500. We ran out, leading the race, with two laps to go.

    Fuel pick up problem. Someone forgot to go and pick up some more fuel. Don't blame me. The tires were good and that's all I did on that car. Heart breaking, though. Damn near won the 500. Blasted Robby Gordon!


    And yeah, Zonk. Your situation was much worse.

    When you're done with private practice, Shocker, let me know. Already got you a spot on Denny Hamlin's NASCAR team.
