Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

we've been in the high 60's and low 70's the last week or so xD 

 

then we are gonna have these few cold days (3 to be exact, 27-34F for our lows) then monday it will be 64 again, then 72 tuesday lol. Friday it says 79 but im finding that hard to believe... i mean come on lol

 

this is how our winters have been going past few years. Every few weeks we will have 2-3 days of winter and then it's back to spring/fall temps lol

yeah but i think my area sucks the most in all of california, other than the sierra, in terms of internet, because we're less developed than the urban cities along the coast, like la, san diego, san jose, san fran, etc.

then you really won't like central california. during the summer, it gets as hot as 115 at some points during summer. but unlike louisiana, which has like 80 percent humidity year round, the hot air in central california is dry, so you don't feel worse in california compared to louisiana.

Just finished installing new speakers! :D

 

Finally I have a nice sounding (and fully working) audio system. Slowly but surely, my car is coming together.

Really want to upgrade the whole stereo in my 9-5. But Idk what to do for the factory sub and the center dash especially. Plus I just need to get suggestions on what to do for the rest of my speakers

The only times I have been to California (San Deigo and L.A.) have been during the early spring and fall, even then it was high 70s. I just don't get how people enjoy that kind of weather.
