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

not car related, but this is creepy as fuck yo.

Did /r/Saab get back to you yet?

A few people recommended the kit I'm looking to buy and said it's a fairly easy install and sounds great

Can't wait until I can get into handling mods on the Saab, lowering Springs with new struts, front strut tower brace, upgraded sway bars. It'll handle so nice. Then with the new wheels and tint it'll look great. Then finally the intake and a muffler delete it will sound so good. Finally, when that's all set and done. It will be time to add some power into the Saab. I'm so happy with this car it's ridiculous

Do you guys drive rented cars harder then you would your own, or friends & family's?

 

I mean, I love the C200 series Mercedes Benz, its got a turbo I bet cuz the power is amazing. Then today I went to a gutless piece of shit Shmart car, oh the hesitation was bad, but I pinned it on every acceleration. I always go out of my way to get the Mercedez Benz C series, tons of room plus the radio is awesome.

@MEC-777 HEIKKI KOVALAINEN JUST WON THE SUPER GT GT500 TITLE AT THE TWIN RING MOTEGI.

 

That's his first WDC in what, 10 years? Also this marks the first time an ex-F1 title has won a Super GT title at all.

 

In GT300, Takeshi Tsuchiya who has been in Super GT for 21 years just claimed his first Super GT title as well. This was his last race in Super GT as he will be stepping down from full-time driving after this season.

Having a look into getting my excavator license. (Already have the 3000 hours i need to just get licensed) 

Because i'm at a bit of a crossroads with my current job. (Contract renewal. And the company i work for is unclear about me getting to stay on) 

Going to make a few calls tomorrow to see if i can pull some strings and get a job lined up in excavation.

 

Hoping for something where i drive something big and don't have to get out too much.

Something like a volvo EC series

maxresdefault.jpg

Or EW

volvo-ew-160-c-08.jpg

 

If i do find something i'll be looking at a possible pay increase of about $7-14 per hour. (Currently making about $14 per hour.) 

Depending on the job of course. Some places may end up paying about the same as my current job.

But good operators can sometimes set their own rates.

xD Its an EW series. Says so on the side.

They are kind of ew though. As most volvo excavators are. 

My dad recently worked at a place that had an EC300EL and that thing needed a new tilt pump and kept coming off its left track xD
