The first time I saw someone pour a quart of 2 stroke oil in the tank of a
Saab 96 followed by 8 gallons of gas. I thought that woman was CRAZY.
The first time I saw someone pour a mustard jar full of 2 stroke oil in the
tank of a Bultaco followed by two gallons of gas. I thought that guy was CRAZY.
I learned about 2 stroke engines. I thought everyone involved was CRAZY.
I owned a Sunbeam Imp. First car - I was CRAZY.
The first time I hung the rear end out (my older brothers 1963 Corvair). GM

In 1995 a friend lent me his Viper for an hour. He IS CRAZY.
I shook hands with Paul Newman at Summit Point and stared into the bluest
