Strange out again
Strange goes out today - with a new cover sheet and first page thanks to my favorite editor's cat.
I am going to finish the Horseboy revision TODAY. Or sometime soon.
Dropped my car off at the shop today. They confirmed it's only inner CV boots that need replacing -- NOT -- as the dealership indicated, the entire front axel. Sheesh. I hate dealers.
I also got the most thorough explanation as to why my car gets the most shitty gas mileage around (besides the fact it's a V6 Toyota) and if I had about an hour I'd give you the full rundown but in brief:

I also got the most thorough explanation as to why my car gets the most shitty gas mileage around (besides the fact it's a V6 Toyota) and if I had about an hour I'd give you the full rundown but in brief:
- Winter gas mileage sucks - humidity in the air messes with the o2 sensor (blah blah blah blah, at this point my eyes started to glaze over)
- Costco sells crappy gas to the loss of about 1-3 mpg...
- I don't let my car warm up before driving it
- California gas has more junk in it than say, Oregon or Idaho, so you actually get less fuel per gallon = less miles
- Short trips around town in a cold, fuel injected V6 engine is a deal breaker

You don't happen to drive a Honda, do you? I have never known a Honda owner who didn't have issues with the CV joints/boots sooner or later.
When we figure out where The Man is, let's go get him. He has alot to answer for.
Strangely, no. My sister's honda had to have both CV boots done recently so you're on to something though. I drive a yota...
I have a feeling 'The Man' resides somewhere in the same neighborhood as the infamous 'They' ( of "They say..." fame)
