    You know you are deep in boost territory when you get tire pressures and boost pressures confused

    Wondering if the employment application asked what car he drove. Or maybe that's how he started his resume. Kind of like AA

    "Hi my name is Alan, I drive a Miata."

    BTW you spell you name wrong. It's supposed to be Allen.

    Welcome to the funny farm. We will be looking forward to your additions to a great magazine.

    Welcome aboard. Write more stuff about low budget cars built with dumpster diving and elbow grease. That's the stuff I love.

    Sounds like you'll fit right in, assuming you're not a Bob Costas fan. And by Bob Costas, I mean the actual Bob Costas, not the filter substitution.

    Welcome aboard.

    If I was 40 years younger, my parents would be 9 and 10 years old.

    So, the guy's first writing assignment was about his grassroots move in his Miata shaped moving van??
