"I realize that supercharged cars may respond differently in this regard, but turbocharged Miatas do not typically decelerate when at WOT and 12 PSI of boost. Quite to the contrary, they tend to accelerate rather quickly under those conditions"

lol!

He's trying to take a pop shot, but his ignorance makes him look like the fool.

That may be true, but I've decided to play a different angle on the idle thread. I want to see how long he keeps his cool with me complimenting and thanking him.

FWIW, I think he just managed to fit his other foot into his mouth as well on the first thread.

Joe I like how you got the "TM" right beside Tom's name.

Is Tom's name trademarked now?

No, but the phrase Fun With Tom™ is a registered trademark of the Globex Corporation, a subsidiary of Knack Toys LLC, Germ Warfare Division.

Haha. Know what's funny? I used to own/operate under the corporation PimpTite Industries, LLC. I still get lots of mail and credit card solicitations addressed to the now defunkt corporation.

Let me see if GA Secretary of State still has it listed...

Ok, you must tell me what kind of business PimpTite Industries was involved in. I'm sure it was benign, but I'm dying of curiosity.
