flames are great but they require a single center exhaust

My fondest memory of her was her role in the Shawshank Redemption.

I did not drive a Porsche today.

For the first decade it was Rita, but by the end, it was Raquel...

don't ask me to explain the related concept of noblesse oblige.

a common theme among those who have little, is the need to display what little they've got.
Your perception of me is just a reflection of you.... Who says wearing nice stuff is just seen as flaunting wealth. I've worked my fuc4ing *** off to be where I'm at. I do things for me. I feel good, as others do, knowing that I look down and see the fruits of my labor, sit in my nice car, in my nice backyard, etc. With your logic, you should chose a life of poverty and service to others.

Don't know, car is no where near my laptop, but because it has been sitting, I think it was running a little rich - O2s are all new.

I am also thinking about spacing out the rear O2 - I had this problem with the other cats (if it is a rich issue.....), so I am not too worried, but an irritant none the less...
