    It's-It

    I live in the SF Bay Area ... the East Bay side and I get them down at the Lucky stores. I LOVE It's it ! Been eating them since the 70's. Great for the taste buds but not easy on the waist line !

    What is the oldest oil you have used in a car?

    I still have a few gallons of SJ DELO 15W-40 I use in my solid lifter BBC and I just used up the last of my SJ Chevron Supreme 10W-30 that I blended with the SJ DELO 50/50 for use in my Impala. Going to have to come up with a good SJ equivelent oil for the Impala pretty soon.

    Post your latest oil change

    2003 Chevy Impala 3.8 V6 50/50 mix of Chevron 10W-30 & Delo 15W-40 both NOS SJ rated oils. K&N oil filter , only because of the nut on the bottom makes servicing the filter much easier.

    Cursive handwriting a thing of the past?

In 27 years of working with him I have gone to him hundreds of times to ask him what the heck he just wrote.....Prior to E Mails and such he would write a list of things to...
