Checked mine today and on a 30 trip, went to pickup a gun I ordered; 
talked to the owners widow for about 3 hours; watched a few turkeys 
get checked in, nice birds, and then back home. No one shot when it 
was warmed up and at its peak, about 8 miles without a stop sign. 
Warmed it up twice so to speak and got a very poor 29.2, have seen 34 
on a nice day of driving non stop with a group coming back from the 
Corvette factory.

Jack, Al, Lawrence, and/or Sal don't know if his asshole was punched, 
bored, or rusted through let alone anything about automobiles.
