I was in the auto parts store the other day, and there was a dude there that was looking for a replacement 'cadillac converter' for his car.

That got me to thinking... anyone who has a Motorized Bicycle kit with an EPA-approved exhaust on it is is riding a Cadillac, due to the 'cadillac converter'.

Maybe someone will design and build a 'Mercedes converter' or 'Ferrari converter' some day.

Reminds me of my days in High School.
I overheard the phrase "I'm going to the liberry to research my homework" quite a bit.

I have heard of Boysenberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Gooseberries, ect., but a liberry.......?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's heard 'em called that. The way some of the rednecks here call them "Cadillac" converters, it was making me wonder if they thought these things were made by Cadillac, while the rest of their truck was made by Ford or Dodge or GMC or whatever.

They must be similar to the people who work at "Nucular" power plants.
