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

Also that engine is $20k, LS is like $2k. Does bilstein even make adjustable shocks for trucks?

Angle grinders and JB weld. Solved everything.

I can't remember if those lock out while driving (if I play Go, it is when I walk).  Still, that individual not overly smart for messing with a tablet or phone while driving.

glad to see cops there are doing what they don't do here. 

lol

 

really speeding is never the problem here.. it's always distracted people. yet what do they look for? speeders. Because everyone on the road is going 10 over we're all going to die.

 

meanwhile phone use while driving continually kills people or at the very least causes many accidents every single day

Ugh, so darn true.  Wish cops pull people over for distracted driving.  What the kicker to me, most new vehicles have built in Blu-tooth ability for the phones or the devices to do hands free are not that expensive.

 

Heck, my new truck is able to read out the text messages on its stock head unit.

I can't connect my phone unless I'm parked, it's great and such a nuisance at times if it disconnects.

Phone is stupid sometimes, if it doesn't automatically reconnect it'll give up, and then the truck stops trying to connect.. and then I'm on the side of the road swearing at technology.

Ah, yeah, the variety of phone tech.  Seems some get decent Blu-tooth and others get crap Blu-tooth.  I am lucky enough my Motorola does decent at Blu-tooth.

 

Need to get around and get my Mom's Pixel to play with her car's Blu-tooth (awesome camera, but it acts like a bull with Blu-tooth).

Well we've been pretty active on it, so if it continues this way then yeah. 

What i meant is that you can set the link to expire. Like it has. 

Don't really want to update the front page every two days or so.

Yeah I was thinking of the same thing. This can be a more closed yet open group.

It can be an "Ask and you shall receive" thing. I'll add a bit of text to the front page in a few days when we know the discord is here to stay. 

 

@vinyldash303

Will there be some provisions for gaming later? Here is how i set up the throwaway

I kniw what's wrong with my Dakota. Not gonna be a huge pain in the ass to fix after all.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.
