Going Downhill Fast

Okay, so I've driven the car several times since my last entry, including to work today, and I've driven the motorcycle zero times. But I really think I'm going to change my ways soon, like it or not! The car is getting much harder to start, and starts with a puff of white smoke--indications of water or antifreeze in the cylinders from the blown head gasket. I expect one of these tries it's not going to turn over at all. That'll show me.

Ah yes, that was when I learned that the catalytic converter is not strong enough to balance an entire car on.

Isn't that also when I wagered that you would both start *and* finish a PhD program before I got another car? I guess I'm about to owe you $1.86.

I drove it to work today. I just can't do 70+ miles on a motorycycle more than a couple days in a row.

It still seems to run alright. The only big difference other than the white smoke is the starter motor seems to be having trouble. I wonder if it is drenched in oil?
