I have a better dumb question.  Why is the Taurus under the Rx for the standard BWRs, instead of above it, where gravity could help?

You know, kind of like the ESBWRs do now. (nice video below)
Here is a neat representation of the generations of the BWR.

That was way too much typing.  Just give them this link next time: http://bfy.tw/I76e (http://bfy.tw/I76e)

Although I am so lazy, I just say "hey google, show me..." and let google do it.

I got my drivers license using my Mom's Taurus.  Sweet car with the 302 engine.
