This one I could understand the moderators not letting through. After some negotiation they agreed to let it through if I deleted the part about the grease stain down the middle. I don't remember, but I probably had a few beers when I wrote it. :-) My Mom doesn't see my car very often, but the last time she saw it the conversation went something like this: Walter: Oh, look! A DeLorean. What a cool car. Mom: (with sarcasm) Isn't that YOUR car? Walter: (sheepishly) Yeah. Mom: That looks obscene. Walter: Huh? Mom: It's unmentionables are showing. Walter: What do you mean? Mom: It looks like its pants are too high or missing, and it is exposing itself. Walter: You mean the oil pan is visible? Mom: Well whatever it is, it shouldn't be exposed like that. Then we went into a long conversation about making a "loin cloth" to hang under there. I have discussed making some fashion of metal grating or louvers with DML members before, and we all came to the conclusion that anything like that would interfere with air circulation by trapping too much heat in the engine compartment. Since my car likes to sport a 'leather' nose bra on occasion, I'm wondering how some complimentary chain mail panties would round out the leather & lace fetish. I have worn a stainless steel chain mail shirt before (long off-topic experience), and it was quite heavy -- about 20 lbs. (I will say that it makes real pretty bruise patterns when you get hit while wearing it. I'm talking Renaissance Festivals; now get your minds out of the gutter!) So anything chain mail large enough to drape over the 'unmentionables' would probably add too much weight to our already bottom-heavy cars. Unless of course it were made out of something like aluminum, but that could be hard to keep clean. As if chain mail panties wouldn't look kinky enough, imagine seeing a greasy oil stain right down the center. Can anyone suggest a way of coating aluminum wire to make it stay cleaner? Teflon? Clear or black anodized? I think silver chain mail panties would look really sexy with that leather-looking nose bra. Oh yeah! Walt Tampa, FL P.S. At the Memphis show I saw that the car with the Northstar V8 conversion had a metal grating hanging down hiding some of the exhaust system. This is sort of what I want to do. Now on the subject again, I saw a monster truck driving around town with black steel balls swinging behind the rear axle. I thought it was a good joke, and I'm not above hanging some behind my oil pan. It's a boy! To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: DMCForum-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Your use of Yahoo!
