Big shout outs to both John Wolf and Brett Murphy for making it in this month's GRM.

Always kinda weird seeing familiar faces and cars in a national publication.

I saw a letter from Karl in one of the previous GRMs as well. He was mourning the loss of his s2000 if I remember correctly.

Now that Karl is a father, I think he needs to do a in depth comparison to how he cared for and treated his S2000 vs his baby...should be interesting.

John Wolf was featured in a small blurb about the Dixie Regional.

Brett Murphy was in the internet hot rod of the month in his Forester.

They're too different. The baby changes her own fluids. :)

It doesn't happen all on its own, you don't have to pull a drain plug, but you do still have to pour the fluids in and dispose of them afterward. :)

Sometimes she defies the laws of physics. It can seem like more comes out than we ever put in.

As long as metal shavings aren't coming out, I wouldn't be too worried. Definitely smells just as bad as gear oil, though. :P

Andrew wins. :lol:

One of my "favorite" games with the kids was "which color Pedialyte comes out next?" when the GI bug hit. Good times, good times indeed......

Not a chance. Burned gear oil has no equal! It smells like Russian Wolf P*ssy! Actually I've heard burning human flesh is worse, but since thankfully I haven't experienced that, I'm still going with burned gear oil for top worse smell candidate.

I had no idea I made it into the magazine, which is sitting unread at my house at the moment.

Thanks for the heads up, and now I know why Scotty B was asking me if I'd read the magazine yet.

**edit** They didn't use the photo credit with the picture. I am hoping it was an oversight.

Just a heads up, John Wolf vented his motor this weekend. You're on the back side of the same page, so you might want to park your XT for a week or two to let the GRM Curse pass through.

We'll see if I can break the curse at the race on Sunday.
