when i was in CJ's neighborhood i stopped at a gas station to fill up. this new cadillac pulled up next to me and started filling up. the man says "that's a beautiful car. absolutely stunning for its age." i thanked him and then he said "does it always make that noise?" i laughed and told him it was a diesel. he says "is it noisy from inside?" and i said "not really, you can hear it though and i like the noise." he asked if he could drive it and i said "um.... i guess" so we drove it around the block and he said the noise would drive him crazy. lol!

anyways... maybe the noise has something to do with it. my mom's still proud that i won the puzzler contest in 6th grade for the question "what type of engine purr's like a cat?" i was the first and only one to answer correctly. i only knew because my mom has only had diesel mercedes!
