~200hp would be pretty fantastic IMO. The 2.5 should be pushing 190...so that might solve a lot of the issues.

I went to put the on the car this afternoon only to find out that I was sent the wrong god damn lug nuts, so it'll be another week or two for the right ones to fucking ship here. Fuck cars.

Wrong thread pitch, I went to put one on and it wouldn't even start. Most cars are M12x1.5, mine is of course M12x1.25 for no good reason.

Yep, it's not worth trying to keep a DD nice up here. Hmm, I should lift the and give it a good cleaning and hit the fasteners with something. Got nothing but time on my hands lol[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 1:59 am
One of the reasons why buying a used car in the northeast/rust belt can be dangerous.

My inner Zilspec, which has grown very strong, actually rates no salt as a top 10 reason for living in the State of California.

It's yet another reason why CA is actually a cheaper place to live when one takes everything into account than most of the world.
You should see West Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. C10s are as common as Model 3s in the cities we all live in.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 5:36 pmEvery time I go to Florida or California, I’m amazed at the cars I see still driving around.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 5:26 pm It's yet another reason why CA is actually a cheaper place to live when one takes everything into account than most of the world.
Cars and trucks that would have rusted into several pieces 15 years ago in the northeast.
