You would think that, but the hammer of T6 to the nail of R31 has the potential to make quite the coffin for anyone with the misfortune of not paying absolute attention. While Chief Delphi's match.com profile would include possible first date ideas of "long walks through the Ace hardware store, a 48-pack of Mountain Dew and 14 straight hours of machine shop time, and a long night of rampant, unchecked, emotionally-based speculation" it's probably best to leave this one alone until the LRI, HR, the teams themselves, and/or the intrepid crew up in Manchester touch this beast with a 200 foot pole.
