Just bought a 3 year $50 battery for $247 from advance Auto parts. Just pisses me off every time I have to replace a battery that is shittier than the last because....
Well you know, political conversation ensues

Just got a new set of Falkon Azenis RT660, 245-40-17. Ran Red Hills Event #5 and didn't suck as bad as usual. Yeah! Got my second oil analysis back from Speediagnostix today. 4970 miles, Tougefest at the dragon, and a couple autocrosses on this one. Still looks great and recommended extending out to 6000 miles and re-test. So I am very happy with the performance of Kendall (which isn't the original Kendall green slime I grew up with) 0w20

Warning, lengthy crying in beer post follows


Well, a lot has happened in the past month. Took time off and met my brother in West Virginia to Touge around the mountains with his new ZL1 convertible 6 speed. By the time I had negotiated an unscheduled meeting with a GSP Trooper and apocalyptic thunderstorms (the one that washed out I40 again), my car was running like trash when I got to the hotel. replaced O2 sensor and cleaned MAS, but no avail. Cut the trip short and limped home in defeat. Got home and found cylinder 3 primary tube 3/4 broken. TIGged up crak, still running crap. Felt around the expansion joints and voila, found a massive leak just upstream of the O2 sensor. Cut the braid away to find the corrugated stainless fatigued and crumbling after about 105k miles. Located a Skunk 2 EL header about 4 hours away and spent my Saturday making that trip in the Outback XT. Turned out a great trip, seller was cool guy who had a super clean modded 18PP. Anywho, made it back, installed and hallelujah my car is running great once again!
