When I first saw the subject line I didn't think of a leaf blower. When
I was a high school kid and much into hot rods we called superchargers
"blowers". Apart from Roots superchargers (blowers) which were
typically used on fuel dragsters
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots-type_supercharger> the most common
superchargers (blowers) at the time was the McCulloch blowers seen here.
Seeing that subject line made me wonder for a moment what are you
driving these days. :-)
