Speaking of fast and the furious, how did those diamond-plate aluminum floo=
rboards produce so many sparks?
Perhaps I need to get my aluminum magnet and learn a little more about alum=
inum! ;)
Tongue held sufficiently in cheek,

  A dyno queen, a term I feel I may have coined, or heard somewhere a long =
time ago, I forget, is a car that makes a lot of power on the dyno, but on =
the street isn't driveable for sh*#t becuase of massive turbo lag, horrible=
 part throttle tuning and performance, etc.  Its easy to get a car to post =
big #'s on a dyno compared to making a car that is fast and can actually dr=
ive.

  Its like a "garage queen", looks pretty sittin' there.

    Now, what exactly is a "dyno queen"?  Someone who hangs around car
    testing garages drinking creme de menthe?
