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

Sumnary of working on a Saab:

Pretty much everything is difficult to acsess, instrument lights switch polarity when dimmed, IF IT HAS XENON LIGHTS STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THEM, IF YOU BUMP THE SENSOR YOU GET AN ERROR CODE THAT REQUIRES AN OBD2 SCANNER TO DELETE and the 2.0 aero turbo wagon is fast.

Someone tried to open my car door as i was filling the camaro up today...

Noticed movement beside me and turned to see a guy reach for my door handle..

The fuck is wrong with some people..

I had the keys in my pocket so i just said

"If your hand touches that handle you will lose it" 

Then he bolted. 

 

Probably going to start locking my car up when i fill it up from now on..

I generally don't 

Most of the people around here keep to themselves (Which i kind of don't like.. I'm an extrovert living in a land of introverts)

With the gas station being on a slight hill.. Nah. 

If he had put it in neutral and taken the parking brake off he could've parked it inside a burger king..

Just imagine for a second what would have happened if he touched the handle, would he actually have lost his hand? :P

The burgers at this particular BK are pretty decent for what they are. Which is why it would be a shame for a car to come through the window

If the keys were in the ignition he could probably have gotten away if i wasn't paying attention. 

Almost wish he would've gotten into the car. Just so i could stand right outside like this
