Oh, my drink is in the kitchen. And I didn't dare leave the seat, because I didn't know how long you would say, talk about it. Technically, I would have had time to get over there and grab it. But in spirit, I'll just... I know, there's my standing. Where it is. Here it is. Here it is, Kavanagh. All right. You know, Emily Post famously stated that the underlying principle of etiquette is empathy. And so if you are thinking about the other person's feelings and considerate of them, you automatically have good etiquette. And then poor Dean. Dean, you've got the 1.8 liter 20 valve. That was what Jetta's had, 20, 100 and to 20 out five. So there's a lot of those. But the thing that they're prone to in terms of catastrophic failure is a broken timing valve, because with 20 valves, it has to synchronize all 20 valves with the pistons, because it's not a free running engine. I love free running engines. If the timing is off, at least the valves won't ram into the... Pistons won't smack into the valves, which causes a lot of damage. I'll only say that because if you find a used one, caveat emptor, because it's a great engine, but you never know when you are getting one in the junkyard is telling you an engine that in fact doesn't run anymore. Good news is that probably, I believe it's the same footprint. I mean, the Jetta is the A4 platform, but at least my experience in the good old days is that you could pull one Volkswagen 1.8 liter out and put any other 1.8 liter in the same bellhousing and everything. Although if you did that, you would not have the fantastic performance of the turbo charger. And then about discs.
