On my way to work this morning I had to stop and get gas. The old man who I guess was behind me stopped to get gas too.

Old man: “Young man, I think your car is on fire. It’s fine now, but it was on fire just a few minutes ago before we both pulled in here.”

Me: “Yeah, I gotta get that fixed.”

It was easier telling him that rather than explaining to him that it appeared that way to him because (he’s old) it runs a rich fuel mixture and uses aggressive ignition timing and rev-matching, leading to small amounts of unburnt fuel igniting in the exhaust, especially during shifts or deceleration.

If I explained it that way which is why he thought that, his response would have still been “Your car was on fire just a few minutes ago young man.” 😂

Ol’ girl I met in Minneapolis in February came out to my neck of the woods this week for a conference. She left back to her crib today. I enjoyed her.
