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

Over here the comfort food of choice would be some mac and cheese. Though my favorite would be a good big ol' bowl of beef combo pho. Literally so good on a nice day.

The S10 is making more noise. Today going to class it sounded like Moms car did whn it was missfiring real bad, felt sligtly lower on power and the lifter tick was louder. Ugh. 

LS swap, just find someone's truck with it in a parking lot and uh.. wrench away.

My comfort food is steak and beer. So is most of my other food for that matter.

I wanted to do a launch on my way home today but it was still ticking so i decided against it. Honestly if it were gonna take a shit I wish it would hurry up and get on with it or quit making noise. 

 

 

 

You know what would fix it? Another road trip. Another 10,000 miles. 

Except this time, the road trip will involve a boat ride to Europe? :P

I mean while the parking job is shit, that really doesn't necessarily mean a person needs to go and spray paint along it. Tragic.

You never know if their shitty parking is due to another person's shitty parking.

Sparky's RS  is not the same as the world record car. They are oddly close in spec though.

I know, but the Chicago show is the same weekend as the opening weekend for Toronto. CVK is coming to Toronto, and Sparky's RS just got on a truck to some unknown destination.

 

It would be oddly convenient, if... you know.

 

But I also wouldn't say no to seeing the world record car though.
