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

this is possibly THE stupidest reason to be banned from california. besides, how would they know if you're banned from california if you just drive into california? there aren't state border checks, so i doubt they'll know.

Its more of a voluntary banishment.

If I do, I'm gonna be in all my Seahawks or Mariners gear, depending on the season.

I did a dumb thing, car friends. I leased a V6 for 3 years with the intent to buy a '14-'15 Scat Pack once the Giulia refresh hit in 2018. FCA announced like 2 weeks ago (almost a year into my lease) that the refresh was being delayed until 2020. The plan was the '18 refresh would tank the value of the then-old generation + standard depreciation.. .I could get in really cheap, or so I thought. I just found out about the delay and I'm staring at it like 'I hate you but I love you, it's not you it's me.'

 

Massive regret atm, but she's still pretty, right?

Tacky rims and grill are tacky. Lowered trucks are fail in my opinion.

Eh its nadeshot. Its more to create awareness among hte people he reaches than his talent. IIRC his team failed pretty badly not too long ago, though congrats on the GFuel endoresement.

 

FWIW Origin PC does that on the regular for prominent contributors in the PC community.

 

Basically, the more people you know the more free stuff you get.
