You've got run on heavy, heavy fuel!

Just had this mug delivered today. Shotgun Dave may have found the perfect gift. THANK YOU so much.

And yeah, it's topped off. It was runnin' lean but I added some fresh grounds and now it's purring (as is the owner) right along.

Nice, but the only way I've ever seen Strombergs was in packs of six or eight!

Too cool, I like it. But for me it would have to be a Weber 48 IDA. I like a big coffee mug.

A friend sent me one of these, which I must christen some time.

My '41 Ford had triple Holley singles on it, and it was so hard to get them tuned I put a gasket under the outboards carbs and ran the stock single!

My 289 Mustang ran dual 600s on a Offy manifold and 351 Windsor heads, and it was a monster.

It only takes once to learn. I had a manual choke, so I turned it over once to prime it, then hit it with no throttle at all. Whoom! Every time a scary good start. I loved that car.

That is a seriously cool mug! Is that thing as heavy as it looks?

I got one for Christmas that my daughter made me. It says: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You drank my coffee. Prepare to die."

As a complimentary gift, my son gave me the new book by Cary Elwes - As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride

Simply outstanding for anyone that loves the movie as much as I do. I actually laughed out loud several times on the flight to Florida while reading it.
