Greetings Roy!

Ack. It could be worse, I suppose--there could've been a governor on it. ;-)

Hmmm... My Acadian would probably fall into that category...

I know the car I'm driving now prefers to have its catalytic conv. in place. 
I drove it for a day with a piece of pipe jammed in there instead, after the 
flange and support bracket rusted away. :-)

 #RW#> Bottled propane, oxygen and an old clunker could change that.
Good point. I wonder what driving would be like in an environment that has 
what, somewhere between a quarter and a third of the gravity that earth does?
