The 79 Olds had an aluminum hood and rather thin steel body components
campared to cars of earlier years. I named mine 'LeRoi' because it was
'Brown' and a little 'bad' (I bought him for $1.25 from a liberal with
an advanced professional degree). He stopped pretty good (you could
fix yours - high performance brake parts can be gotten for only 'a
little more'). He rode a little low and looked 'saggy' because of the
'high-rate' springs I put in to keep him from sloshing around in a 4
wheel drift or chattering during extreme braking (he got new 'hard'
bushings, ball joints and some cross-bracing too). His motor was in
pretty poor condition - lots of sludge from not having the PCV system
hooked up for years, and the valve guides leaked which led to the
exhaust valves being badly coked up so I pulled the heads and sent them
off for a proper 'high-performance rework' (I didn't have to 'send'
them, actually, there's a guy what builds racing motors next town over
so I just drove them there and came back with a set of gaskets, a new
cam, valve springs and stuff). Then I did some other stuff to get
better gas mileage (24 mpg was typical until I put on the 245/50-16 wet
weather tires on plain brown wheels which did eat into mileage a bit)
and improve drivability. To make a potentially long story shorter, the
snooty co-worker with the high-performance yerpeen sporty-car decided
to 'show LeRoi his tail lights' but LeRoi was most uncooperative on
both occasions - the straight-line question was not going to be settled
safely 'on-highway' what with LeRoi still pulling away at disturbingly
high speeds, and the cornering question was similarly ambiguous without
the controlled environment of a closed course (where cops and the
uninitiated driver don't interfere with the technical issues of a
performance trial). The issue of 'betterness' was decided on the basis
style and utility - LeRoi wasn't shiny, had no pedigree, had the
cheapest possible radio and had no provision for 'heel and toe' clutch
work. The sporty car couldn't be used to carry bags of mortar, plywood,
or five large carpoolers in reasonable comfort (well, OK, he was a bit
stiff-legged and could shake the teeth out of your head on a rough road
but I knew where most of the bumps and potholes were so it wasn't all
that bad for the passengers - they seldom complained, learned to
tolerate a little wheelspin and modest slip angles if the entry was
smooth, and did appreciate the relatively low cost of a fill-up
compared to, say, a van pool).

Uh, yeah, the last time I did it.

Um Second Life is a CHAT GAME and it is in no way AT ALL even REMOTELY
similar to...pretty much ANYTHING I was talking about.

I could never take a God that got jealous seriously.

You haven't explored it, have you?
There's actually about 20% of users who never chat to anyone or want
any kind of relationships.
And there's fighting arenas with all kind of weapons too, if that's
the kind of social gatherings you'd rather attend.
You can even create your own BGM-109A with a W80 250 kiloton tactical
thermonuclear fusion based war head

And I could never take a God without a sense of humor seriously,
either.

Hey, I saw some of your Flash work and had a good laugh.
Excellent stuff waiting to be polished, i.e. some client paying big
bucks for it, I suppose?

I inmensely enjoyed those B/W Chinese shadow theater like animations
whose name I don't recall neither how I landed there, but I do recall
they were connected to you in some way, because I got there through
your page. Didn't I? Yeah, I'm sure I did.
Where are they from?
Could you post a link to their page for me again?
Thanks
