Assuming, tho, that he really did say in effect that he would like to outlaw my old Chevy (which I plan to drive for the next 30 years), then it comes down to the very hard choice of whether to put one issue you care a lot about above a lot of maybe more important issues. I, for one, also dont like the usual Democrat's anti-tobacco and anti-gun position. But there is no way I could ever bring myself to vote for a complete phony like Bush. Or a nincompoop like Schvartzenegger in my state.

Title: Message There are less than three months until the election, an election thatwill decide the next President of the United States. The man elected will bethe president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans. To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and showeach other our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we allcame together, Democrats and Republicans alike. If you support the policies and character of President George W. Bush, please drive with your headlights on during the day.

[Chevelle-list] Comment Pertaining To Election
I am going to make a comment that points out a difference between the two major presidential candidates. I am not trying to tell anyone how to vote or start an argument. It appears that President Bush is more favorable towards our hobby/love of the old cars. I read a New Mexico newspaper article that had Kerry saying that in one of the steps to having clean air, all older vehicles must be taken off the highways. Also stated that diesels must become cleaner. Now granted this was a sidebar in a newspaper that I just happened to pick up and read while traveling thru New Mexico and did not directly point out our cars. However, what else would he be talking about? I haven't read or heard Bush mention anything of this nature, all I have heard him say that he is for clean air with no other details to go along with his statement. Just reading between the lines and after reading 'Unfit To Command' I believe I know who I won't vote for, as I want to keep my cars. I believe I will build another one. D.R. Jones
RE: [Chevelle-list] EFI update
It's more tedious than really hard. My soldering skills before the project consisted of soldering some small wire leads to electric motors for remote control cars when I was a kid. So, I was no expert. And I got my MegaSquirt right the first time with no real problems. It did take me about 10 hours to build, though. The manual that those folks put together is outstanding, and if you read it thouroughly, you should have few, if any problems. I have all the major components for this project and I'm still well under $1000. (800 or so, I think). Not bad for fully programmable EFI from scratch. -Dave -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Capt Crunch Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 10:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] EFI update Sounds like a nice project Dave.
