   J.C. Whitney! The catalog of my youth! Everything in it, printed on cheapest   
   newsprint, and the whole thing like the back mail-order pages of a comic book,   
   only with more motor oil: skull-shaped door lock buttons, Beetle camshafts for   
   increased performance, gas-mileage-increasing carb magnets, drill-driven oil   
   pumps to change the oil via the dipstick tube, all kinds of neat-o stuff.   
      
   I ordered, so they probably still send three catalogs simultaneously to that   
   address...   
      
   And Edmund Scientific, back when they still sold fun and cheap things...   
      
   Dunno about pink dice, black dice, or red dice: I had an AMC Pacer, and in no   
   way was that in any way, shape or form a "racer".   
      
   It did have no aircon, in Warshington DC, which made for interesting summer   
   experiments in solar energy uptake.
