Default blower

Mrs Claus here. Santa couldn't sleep last night. He kept going out to the garage and touching his "blower". He wanted me to touch it but I had a headache and was too tired. Maybe his elves will touch it for him later today.

Mrs Clause you are nice lady to treat Santa so well.

Santa's elfs are not going to touch his blower, they will just tease him for a bigger tip.

The Church Lady also purchased a nice pile of parts it was so nice of her to take the kids camping this week and leave me home alone with the check book. I was thinking the rotors and cage will make my car safer after all Santa wrenched on it and made it fast so I need this stuff to make it safe

This is a damn expensive hobby... I'm feeling that!

I of course told my wife that I can't possibly buy a truck or daily driver car this fall now that Santa has his blower... told her I need a new stroker engine and a direct port nitrous system. She was so happy about that, she was nice enough to set me up a bed in the garage so I can be closer to all my car parts and tools.

I tried to tell her that I could make back some of that money by selling the complete engine out of my car, but I think her ears had tuned me out by then.

Hey Mark I realize you were serious about getting you cam only, bolt on car into the 11's, but I don't thinking "bolting on" a blower counts for that kinda stuff You realize that you just raised the bar for more than just yourself right ? What the hell do I have to do to keep up now ? 250 shot on the BBC ? well .... OK

Yeah no kidding... he has no consideration for what his little expenditure is going to cost the rest of us.

If I get thrown out of the house for buying enough goodies to keep up with that blower, I'm coming to live with YOU Mark...
