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

I would absolutely hate to drive every day knowing they're tracking my every move.

Its quite annoying the times you go over the speedlimit without trying/realising. And the only way you find out is when you check your scores to see them shit on cause of it. Trying that car the other day was so refreshing cause it meant I could focus more on driving rather than on the speedo

Needs money for car parts :P

Speaking of testing, here's the Dallara built BR1 and it's interesting headlights - Assuming these are pit identification markers, they are shaped to make the letters B and R, since SMP is heavily backing the project./

Well that settles it. I'm mothballing the Camaro until spring. 

Came out to find a big ass ball of icy snow right on the windscreen and the snow was brushed against pretty much all over the car. 

And people wonder why i hate living in the city. Fucking assholes can't keep their hands to themselves. 

Well that sounds irritating..

I need a new country. This frozen anus is not my thing. 

 

Gotta sell it before some cunt destroys something that lowers the value further.

I can't leave anyway..

 

If i get another 190E my mom will kill me. (She hates them since my first one wasn't a great example of the breed) 

And i'd have to get the 2.6l since the 2.3's eat head gaskets worse than 7Ms

Yup. But life is a bitch sometimes. Just gotta deal with it. 

Don't like it though. Almost makes it feel like they win. When really the only thing they should win

is touching my car and moving some snow aside only to see "Front towards enemy" *BANG*

 

I wonder if they make paintball claymores. That would be perfect.

What would you get if you sold the catfish? Mr. 2.6l 190e doesn't have a nice ring to it :P

45k swedish if i'm lucky. Though most of it would go to paying off the car itself. Leaving me with maybe 9-10k to buy something else.
