    you all officially suck.

    my mileage is going down, but that's due to needing new spark plugs and wires.

    the tires rock.

    i've talked about my dream charger before; here's one similar to what i want to do, except i'd rather have the car in black...probably flat black.

    *edit*

    I've been known to OWN some pretty cool cars but in the last 15 years or so they've been MILD at best. :) Present car is a 1994 Camry. :)

    If air quit after an oil change look for a vacuum line off on the engine or firewall the blend door won't divert the air since it's vacuum operated chris

    Good catch Chris. :)

    @Aus,
    I've owned a 1967 La Mans, 1959 Austin-Healey 3000, 1969 VW Beetle, 1980 Volvo DL that would get "scratch" in 3rd gear, 198? Capri 5.0, and a couple of others but the La Mans and the Austin-Healey really are missed. :) I was young and needed money when I had to get rid of them. I didn't have a good enough job to really fix them up the way that they needed to be but I did OWN them for a while. :D

    Subaru > BMW :)

    nah, gm, i drive an '05 RS. less power, but no turbo lag. :)

    sasha is still 100% stock, except for the cb radio and bad ass tires. unfortunately, being a starving college student, i don't have the money to do much to her, but she's pretty perfect the way she is. at some point, i'd love to replace the whole suspension system, toss on some brembo brakes, replace the stereo system, and add some spicy cams and a reflash for a few more ponies, but most of that will have to wait 'til i graduate. :-(

    in other news, i'm still too broke to do anything fun to her. and because she needs new spark plugs and some servicing, the gas is over 100% to the winter blend, and it's cold in the city driving, the mileage is going to hell. yay for 30k mile service in 2 weeks.

    Unfortunately a drunk totaled my Mustang for my birthday last year.
    That is one birthday I will never forget or remember since I woke up the next day in the hospital.
    Now I have A Bifuel Lumina. Does that suck or what.
    But since I am in Oklahoma the price of CNG is only 90.9, that does not suck.
    All in all I wish I never totaled my old 65 Vette.
    She was not much, but who cares it was a 65 Vette.
