Also that they were not zoned for beverage sales. Basically they were just upset that the players were stopping there and getting lemonade before playing instead of hitting the bar.

He looked at me and said "The 23 and 22 valve engines don't save you that much and with the 24 valve engine you get the bulk rate discount" So as in the real estate (learning the game as I go along) he seemed to make a lot of sense so I sprang for the whole 24 valves. Was that the best deal, as my wife asked, or should I have saved a little and gone with just the 23 valves or 22? Maybe the mileage would have been been with fewer valves as the price of gas is so high? This car thing is confusing????
