Mullet's Trailer Park Lawn Ornaments

Initially, I loved the Frontier, and towards the end of the 18-month lease, I was thinking I'd just buy a Pro4X since it was within my budget. Unfortunately, the experience of simply GETTING that base model Frontier as part of the 99% residual value lease was so painful that I swore off buying from...

Congrats on the new ‘fake truck’, I love that color. In4 G8 pics as well, sounds like fun. How easy was it to turn in the Frontier and how did you like it?

Had to replace the intake manifold on the GXP. https://i.imgur.com/5s144gn.jpg?1 Wait this is the stock manifold? It looks like an Igloo cooler. ;) Nope. Finally got around to putting my LSA blower on, smaller 2.55" upper pulley and wound up doing a FORE Innovations dual 300lph fuel pump syste...

Makes weird noises too. Unfortunately it hasn't been fully tuned yet, we got the drivability portion figured out but it breaks up at 80% throttle so I need to swap the plugs and wires out while installing a fuel pressure gauge on the interior so we can see if the second pump is working at all.

Your chart had me look up the Model 3 again, but I'd need a Performance if I'm going that route....Yeeeshhh. Price increases caught me off guard. Last time I looked, (like...last year this time?) it was $56k for a red M3P. Oh, and FSD was "only" $10k back then. Guess I'll just get the Mave...

OT 18: Anti-Social Distancing

As much as I enjoy driving on a race track, I find driving on public roads to be incredibly stressful. Especially in any remotely urban context. Driving a big truck or bus in a city is my idea of the most stressful job in the world. You get used to it. In some ways it's easier than a regular car, y...

1.9L LSA Blower, Camaro ZL1 upper lid, 2.55" upper pulley. Should be a bolt on 12psi with the pulley setup. Currently not sure about porting it or doing exhaust/cam because of how nice the car is to drive. So, is this happening this weekend? :excited: :burnout: :lol: I would have loved to, but...
