Yeah, I saw your car; I waited almost 10 minutes before I left . . . no worries, though. How does my exhaust sound under load? All I've heard of it's from the inside if the car . . .

Oh, back to the band thing, I had to do some quick off-the-line movement to avoid being hit just before I got on the freeway; the RPMs jumped to about 4500, hung there, the car started moving a h*ll of a lot quicker than it rormally does off the line, then RPMs dropped to about 4000 and increased "normally". I was doing 45 (redline) by the time I reached the other end of the intersection. So maybe this brake band thing isn't too bad . . .

Nah, I'd rather not have to spend another $4k on another tranny in 2 months. I'll call Barsotti's on Thursday, when I get paid.

So, THAWA, if you stopped by to see me, I apologize for having to leave early. If not, well, cool, more business for the store

And your car looks better than mine. Time to wash it . . . mine, that is.
