Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Subject line is FUBAR.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I neither see nor hear anything when I click on the image icon. Want to try again? Also, a description of what sort of engine we're supposed to hear would be helpful. Different engines suffer from different maladies.

My favorite recorded engine noise is the opening of the 1966 movie 'Grand Prix" in Cinerama--the real deal with three projectors and a very wide screen.and huge speakers. It shows the beginning of the race at Monte Carlo. Many cars are lined up at the starting line, just sitting. A single mechanic comes out and fusses with a Coventry Climax engine and it starts. Then another similar engine starts and the picture is split showing overhead shots of two engines. Then two more and it splits, doubles again and then again. All coventry climax engines roaring. Then ONE Farrari V-12 starts and you hear a completely different shriek among all the roaring.

Beautiful, just as beautiful as Pablo Casals with a cello and a great orchestra with him. Individual tastes may differ.

Here's the image that was in the opening post. (Can you see it now, MGM?)
