You might have prevented another wiped out FRZ. The curse has now been lifted.

It was the right call Paul. With our history of cruise speeds plus end of season tires, cold wet or damp pavement, it was a recipe for possible disaster.

Saw your heading over on the 416 at 9-ish. Figured you hadn't caught up. Took some time to head the other way to Oggy this am.

First world problems. Edited my E85 tune for better cold starts. Switched the tank over to test it and now it's warm all week.

Just had another fantastic experience at the shop. Thanks guys for a job well done. Treated my wife's Lexus with kid gloves for sure. The picture you took Andre of the extra boost for the car was priceless.

Beautiful car Paul. On the list for sure.

Extra boost was provided with the car in the form of future methane production.
