Re: A buddy's car

I was a auto mechanic here in San Jose for 19 years before getting into semiconductor manufacturing equipment maintenance, and may be wrenching again someday as every down-turn takes some silicon out of Silicon Vally.

My commute is only 16 miles, I'm very fortunate, my boss and many others are driving 90 miles each way with lots of traffic.

Still fascinated by engines, this is the Paul Pfaff modified 502ci Mercruiser in my son-in law's boat, what's noteworthy to me is that it makes 600hp on 87 octane gas, although I think it's unfair that marine engines don't require much in the way of emissions controls.
