Mr. Big Ol' UP Guy - <br /> <br />H8 - weighed 778,000 pounds. Cost $230,663 per copy. (First series - 1600-1609.) <br />A - weighed 570,000 pounds. Cost $123,000 per copy. (First series - 1200-1209.) <br /> <br />Now, Mr. Big Ol' UP Guy - even you, with your obviously limited grasp of mechanical principles, could design an engine that weighed 100 tons more and cost $100,000 more than the one you wanted to beat, and do it. Problem is, that the performance improvement didn't come close to matching the weight differences and cost differences. But you, as a Big Ol' UP guy, obviously don't care about stuff like that. <br /> <br />Now, you'll have to excuse me. <br /> <br />My daddy told me that it wasn't polite to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man, and you're obviously as unarmed as they come. <br /> <br />Your friend, the Redneck Hickabilly Trailer Trash Old Timer
