Funny conversation with my wife...

So I'm sitting here researching race rom features for ecutek tuning and my wife says to me, only you understand what that stuffy means...

I turn and say what? She says, I'm looking at the screen and none of that makes sense to me...

So I start to inform her. I tell her how a four stroke engine cycle works and how the computer has sensors and I start describing in detail the process that a modern car uses to run. Maf sensor, how vacuum works to pull in air, how the computer calculates how long to open an injector for, fuel pumps, rails, detonation, etc...

So I get to describing timing and knock sensors and she kind of stops me and says that's what I was looking at. It said "Knock retard:Knock retard" and I thought they were talking about telling a disabled person to knock on something...

Thank you for sharing.


My wife just asked if I thought nail polish was a good way to fix the chrome that has rubbed off of the steering wheel emblem.

My wife starts ignoring me 5 seconds into car talk, so I'd say you got a keeper there
