Bras for the Cause - Fundraiser
On May 9th, I'm participating in a 10K fundraising walk, complete with a bra-decorating contest, to raise money for the San Francisco Bay Area Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. For more than 20 years, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has been a global leader in the fight against breast cancer through its support of innovative research and community-based outreach programs.
The Bras for the Cause Walk promises to be a very popular, high-energy event with hundreds of walkers, volunteers, and spectators. We are participating in a fun, and exciting walk with a very compelling purpose-to find a cure for breast cancer now. As a walker, I have been asked to raise money through fully tax-deductible pledges that will fund research and medical treatment for underinsured women in the Bay Area. All the money you give will go directly to the Komen Foundation and to Pleasanton's AXIS Community Health Center. Tri-Valley SOCKs (the walk organizers) are using corporate sponsorships and our registration fees to cover the insurance, printing, and other costs associated with the walk.
The Bras for the Cause Walk is an incredible, high-energy event with hundreds of walkers, volunteers, and spectators. Our walk is a unique and exciting event, with a very compelling purpose-to find a cure for breast cancer now.
Please help me raise money for Tri-Valley SOCKs, use the above link to donate. The website listed above is secure, fast and easy to use. At the website you will be able to choose an amount to donate and receive email confirmation of your donation.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Batter Batter

Here comes the NorCal MINIs' A's vs. Giants game on Saturday, June 13, 2009. We all want to show our Giants' colors and maintain that NorCal MINIs' affiliation. So is there any better shirt to wear than the NorCal MINIs' baseball jersey with black sleeves? It attractively offsets the orange of the MINI on the NorCal MINIs' logo. It says "Go Giants" with a NorCal MINIs' flair.
Navy-sleeved baseball jerseys are sold to stinkin' Dodger traitors only.

MCS Exhaust Split and Hitched

Because of the centered location of the exhaust pipes there was no OEM tow hitch for the MCS. This OEM "test" hitch configuration may never make it to the US since it is uncertain whether it would be approved by the US Dept. of Transportation.
Power Enhancement Recommendations

The basic program works like this: The user fills in fields in what looks like a typical tech sheet for an engine, with blanks for critical specs, including bore, stroke, compression, valve sizes, camshaft profile, and much more. Some fields provide a selection of typical choices for users who may not have specifics on their own combination, though the option to enter very specific figures is usually available. Once the data is entered, the “engine” can be effectively run through its theoretical power band using the DynoSim software, producing test results just as if the actual engine had been built and tested.

Remember The Wheelie Stand Drag School Bus?
Well, it is powered by a rear-mounted, alcohol-fueled, blown and injected big block Chevrolet engine which produces around 1000 HP! The power is transferred to the rear wheels through a GM 400 Turbo transmission, into a transfer case, then into a full floating rear-end. Unfortunately, the bus was recently crashed at the O'Reilly Thunder Jam at Edinburg International Raceway in Edinburg, Texas. Jalopnik has the story and here is the crash video -

Marty, It's Perfect! You're Just Not Thinking Fourth Dimensionally!
Marty: Wait a minute. Wait a minute Doc, uh, are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?
Doc Brown: The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

Auto Motto reports on a story at Jaunted that you may now rent a replica of the Delorean Time Machine from Back To The Future for that special party or occasion, or to go back to one to which you wish you had gone.
