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

yeah. that's that main reason why my parents have never bought a brand new car. it's SO much cheaper to buy one even 2 years old (or 10 years old in the case of my accord).

No argument from me, it certainly is cheaper to buy used. But you give up the awesomeness that is new car smell ;)

I was nervous to post this video but whatever... 

 

Youll like the part at the beginning of my 4th run when Neil the camera guy rode with me. 4th was also my fastest. 1st two runs were terrible, well none were perfect lol. My last was pretty good but I nudged a cone (camera didn't record that one)

Also got 50% off on the oil.

Those have got to be twice the price over there because they're only $7 a pop here.

$12 something i guess. VAT is some of it i assume. The rest is either shipping or markup 

 

Haha.. If that was true i'd just torch the fucker and laugh..
