    I don't like green eggs and ham sam I am!! hee.
    I knew ya didn't like em just gotta get ya when i can :-)
 Here I never thought I'd get better mileage outta that duct but it
makes sense. I think if we line our 2 machines up take off drag strip
style and i can pull away from your 120hp vw with my little sooby then
I'll believe the time it took to make it will have been worth it :-) I
was worried that the trailing edge of the duct might turn out being
weak but I was certainly wrong as one night  (after an undisclosed
amount of beer) I grabbed the top of it and hung from the trailing
edge to see if she'd  budge. She held in like a champ!! Really is
super strong being a hollow design and all.
