If you tend to linger in that rpm range you absolutely need an oil cooler. Otherwise, start saving up for that bottom-end job in your future.

Jezus reading some of your posts makes me glad Texas is a CHL state.
I have yet to have any truly awkward encounter other than the "come race me bro" types every now and then. |

Pulled up behind a younger guy (younger than me at least, I am 24) in a red FRS at a gas station a while ago. I gave him a nod as I got out and got nothing more than a blank stare. I wanted to say hi or something but I got the vibe he wasn't willing to chat so I just filled up and left after he did. I ended up pulling up next to him leaving our community, and he started bouncing his car off the rev limited beside me. His exhaust was really loud/obnoxious. He probably felt pretty awkward when he realized my car was a bit more modified than his was power wise, but he did get a sweet rice flyby out of it when he caught up...

I don't usually do this, but it's slow at work, so what the heck:
I was waiting at a light yesterday on the way home. An old Honda Prelude is kissing my ass but I think nothing of it, probably just needs new brake pads. Light turns green, I start driving off--apparently too slow--as I see this guy behind me throwing his hands up and yelling at his steering wheel. He cuts into the next lane, obviously pissing off the people in that lane as it is just before rush hour, and tries to get in front of me aggressively. Of course, I let him, and he ends up braking hard at the next red light so I pull up to the lane next to him. He's dodging eye contact with me at this point, so I roll down my window to get his attention. I give him one of these, but with a slight smirk as he just made my day with his madness: This makes him madder, so he peels off once the light turns green. His car is an automatic = more lols. Time to get onto the freeway. Circumstances cause him to end up behind me just before the clover on-ramp, and he's kissing my ass again. So I do what our cars were made to do: heel-toe, dropped 2 gears, and manhandled that on-ramp without even a chirp, leaving him in the dust. I let off a bit to wait for him before merging onto the freeway, as he's rushing to catch up to me. Predictable as a goat, he tries to merge onto the freeway before the merging lanes meet. Too bad, there's a truck in the way, leaving me plenty of room to slide in front and forcing him to get behind. About 3 minutes later, after cutting a dozen people off and illegally crossing the double-white lines to get into the express lane, he passes me and throws the finger. I tremble in my seat and shed a tear in fear. Poetic justice would have this bloke get ticketed immediately after for riding solo in the express lane/crossing the double-white lines, but life isn't a fairy tale, and he ends up hopping the double-white again further down to get out of the express lane, establishing his superiority and utter dominance over me by being 5 cars ahead in traffic. Moral of the story: None. The End.

Didn't start awkward but ended up just a tad so:
Looked out my office window this afternoon to see this group of guys standing around my car and what looked like posing and taking pictures. They were all wearing what looked like very expensive over coats and suits. I decide this is a good time to take a break (ya a "break") and go out. Turns out they are a bunch of engineers from Toyota! They were all amazed and very pleased to see my very dirty, salt covered car and through a translator congratulated me for driving it in a Canadian winter. They asked a few questions about how it was in snow and cold and then obviously were ready to go in. This is where things got awkward! Since they all had been posing for pics I asked if I could get a picture with them all beside it. The translator asked them and all of a sudden they all became very stern looking and answered him for what seemed like 20 minutes. Apparently they can not let "other people" take their picture with a car without corporate approval. P.S. This is the second time my car has attracted a gaggle of Toyota engineers but I didn't know about the first time until a few days after it happened.
