Yeah, after many attempts to give CaymanPower a way to walk away, now my hat is off to him for staying the course!

Yeah, hey, CamryPower, 9A1 engine statistics blah blah blah . . . But what the hell, thanks for giving us an excuse to visit the neighbors in the nicer subdivision next door.

You bet! Except when both banks smoke that not so gentle puff... it saves even more time to diagnose - new engine, anyone?!

Keep it camin' boys... I feel important now!

Well, it also could be the AOS, the usual excuse... the thing is, with the 9A1 the AOS is quite reliable, possible but not likely!

"It's Oh So Quiet"

it's. oh. so quiet
it'a oh. so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...

you fall in love
zing boom
the sky up above
zing boom
is caving in
wow bam
you've never been so nuts about a guy
you wanna laugh you wanna cry
you cross your heart and hope to die

'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot

you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love

it's. oh. so quiet
it's. oh. so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...

you ring the bell
bim bam
you shout and you yell
hi ho ho
you broke the spell
gee. this is swell you almost have a fit
this guy is "gorge" and i got hit
there's no mistake this is it

'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot

you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love

the sky caves in
the devil cuts loose
you blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
when you've fallen in love

ssshhhhhh...
