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

Happy early birthday. 

There's an old wive's tale that if you give someone well wishes for their birthday before the actual day that they'll die.

you weren't here on this thread long enough. long story short, there was a guy posting random pics of just riced out cars and trucks and like it went on for days and days, then he just mysteriously disappeared off the face of this thread.

yeah it was great /s. We'd be in the middle of a conversation and then bam. You're eyes blinded by the horrid scene.

 

Then the thread would go silent. then someone would change the subject eventually. 

 

I think we all knew he would eventually leave though. they always do.

Yeah, they're fun. Another one is that if you sit at the corner of a table you'll never get married.

 

GG @Maybach123

Another is that you shouldn't say the word/name Macbeth in a theater cause it's apparently cursed.

And how before a performance you shouldn't say good luck but rather 'break a leg'.
