I had set aside $100 yesterday for the newbie sampler thread. On my way home from work, my car developed a loud valve "clack", so I put it in the shop this morning. Looks like the $100 plus a large chunk of savings is going to the mechanic. I will continue to smoke through my Gurkha sampler for now.

Sorry for the rant. Let's just hope the bill isn't to expensive. They had the car all day and I missed their call on my way home from work. They were closed by the time I got home.
