Davintosh,
I thought I was the only one with a 710 cap. 
Yeah, I know the feeling perfectly. I have switched over to "depends for men" because I'm afraid I'll lose control of all my bodily functions upon hearing the motor belch and hydro-lock with oil.
I have my wife trained well in her X3. I make her take the long way home and when it's good and warmed up, "give it a good lil spank'n" if you know what I mean.
