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

Anyone who thinks coffee is better than hot chocolate and tea breaks my heart.

They are sort of equal to me. But i tend to drink quite a lot of coffee.

I still can't get in to drinking coffee, even in Europe where it's better than the dirt water we have here.

One day i'll have one of those on my driveway too. (A local guy owns one and somehow we've ended up waving at each other every time we meet on the road)

Its my second favorite gen of camaro. 2-3-4-1-5 is my preferred order.

Also find it quite fun that i can understand quite a bit of the ads. 

Don't like the convertible third gens though. They look a bit off

Well... just got my first ticket ever. Speeding for 115 in 90km/h

Was driving with a group of cars (around 15 in total), all doing around 115 on a 3 lane passing stretch. I was in the left lane with 2 guys infront and 3 behind me.

Cop passed buy on the opposite side of the road. Pulled everyone in the left lane over. (all 6 of us). Decided to make an example out of me. Charged me with 25km/h over limit, and wrote everyone else some warnings. Wasted around 20 mins of our time just sitting there.

 

I explained to him that i was just following traffic. His reply was "any speed over 90km/h is against the law", and that I was the fastest car (BS). 

Im soo pissed. All this because my civic looks a little sporty. I was very polite to him, even put on my 4 ways.

My AMD Build:

Spoiler

FX 6300 @ 4.8GHz, Zalman CNPS14X, MSI 970 Gaming, 16gb 1866MHz AData Ram, 3D Club R9 280X, Corsair 600M Psu, Thermaltake V3 AMD Edition Case, D-link 1200AC WiFi, 240gb Mushkin SSD, 2tb WD HDD, 140gb WD HDD (recording gameplay), 5x CoolerMaster SickleFlow 120mm fans, Windows 10 64Bit

Sisters Intel Build:

Spoiler

I7 4790k @ 4.4GHz, CoolerMaster 212 Evo, Gigabyte Gaming 5, 16gb 1866MHz Corsair Ram, 3D Club R9 390, EVGA 650GS Psu, NZXT S340 Case, D-Link 1200AC WiFi Card, HyperX 240gb SSD, 2tb WD HDD, Windows 10 64 Bit

That's pretty fucking stupid. At least give everyone a ticket if you're going to be a dick about that.

So @vinyldash303 didn't believe me at first when I said my boot hard drive on my desktop had a ton of hours on it and it would probably be wise to replace it with an ssd soon lol
