    Just as well.

    Don't think I'd trust an automatic razor...

    Can I get one with four speeds and five blades, though?

    It'll be as hard to convince most Americans to go "back" to manual transmissions as it would be to convince men that you don't need a bazillion blades for a good shave.

    I rather wish that Schick would bring back the injector razor. I prefer a good single blade razor. Maybe they could gain some market share by touting it as environmentally friendly since there is far less waste than any of the newer cartridge style razors.

    @smalleyxb122: About the only place maunels are common is in heavy trucks. They haven't quite figured out how to make an auto that's the same weight as a manuel and still have the torque capacity.

    On the other hand, the stick shift in my '94 Ranger actually makes it fun to drive.

    I've had good luck with the Gillette Mach 3 for a razor. About the only thing that drives me bonkers is the price for replacement blades!

    Not that I want to go off topic here (ok, I do), but why hasn't there been any discussion of Climategate here? Did I miss the post? A site dedicated to the rapture of CO2 spewing chariots of joy should at least make a passing reference to the scandal that blew the lid off of the anti-car, carbon-tax laden, global warming scam.

    @Ash78, tryptophanatic: I know. And just when the driver thought that they were in for a good, hard ride along some backalley or mountain pass. The disappointment must be crushing when they find out that it's way more than they can handle.

    They'll be wary for the rest of their life whenever another one comes along saying "I've got four on the floor, babe. How 'bout you?"

    @Super Traction Engine: A custom van shouldn't be a problem. At Nelson Ledges this year, there was a van racing (when it wasn't in the pits). Although it might have earned an exemption due to its caminoization.

    Either the van or the truck might push the envelope on the 4200lb GVW limit, but as long as it squeaks under, you'll be fine. Otherwise, get an exemption before you spend the time and money prepping it for race duty.

    the most important thing is to TURN OFF THE FLAME BEFORE LOWERING THE BIRD INTO THE HOT OIL!!! the flaming infernos get started by the spattering oil igniting by contacting the open flame. after bird is submerged and spattering has ceased, you can relight the burner.

    I have fried turkeys before, but never thought to utilize an engine hoist and tool cart.

    When the peanut oil gets old, I put an ad on Craigslist and somebody comes by to pick it up and turn it into biodiesel.

    I think the true Jalopnik way would be to cut out the middleman and fry the turkey in diesel.
