Careless tech. That is supposed to be stored in that tube on the front of your engine. It's often erroneously referred to as the "throttle body" but it's actually the rag tube. Remove that band around it, separate the plastic tube from the metal thing and shove in there AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. Then start the car (the engine has an automatic rag storage mechanism) and it'll get stored right up next to those intake valves right where it belongs.

The 13s and up only have an idiot light since they cheaped out but the 17s actually have a gauge that shows you the voltage.


How do you even function anymore?

Haha you guys crack me up. Pictures soon.

I told my kindegarten teacher I had to see my brother in elementary they wouldn't let me. So I hopped the gate and saw him there but he treated me like a dummy in the middle with his friends and a ball lol. Unfortunately it is ironic how we are indeed truly nothing but mammals...

And then in college I learned about being on the outset of education(Based off what college taught me). the way I look at it I always put my trust in God in all the years of the verbosity of school and oppression.
So what I am trying to say is...

Maybe it's not the weed? :O But I would highly recommend smoking if you ever feel like these people never get the hint about our education system. We need to eradicate it or perfect it.

And as a leader definitely will.

Although being oppressed for a long period of time has me exhaling worst than darth vader I can't tell if I want to drink vodka or smoke weed xD or just go home and turn out an oppressed slave... My life has a lot of questions some may be connected to one or the other... perhaps something to think about of course. (with success and the wealth/power to appeal)

This video came on... [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqD8lIdIMRo"]Putin's Warning: Full Speech 2016 - YouTube[/ame]
And I love watching videos like those... I don't know why for some reason I feel I get a lot out of watching a president in fear but seriously... I hope these people who own the youth don't destroy our future.. fucksake aren't we already smart enough to not go to war anymore? ay-yai-yai !

I can't believe 17 comes with a battery gauge!! WTF! I am on my second battery under warranty, having a gauge would just add to the paranoia!! I just hope the gauge replaces the funny gauge on the right-hand side of the dash..it'll be more useful if like that kind of thing.

The gauge cluster is just one of the many settings on the info center. Won't be a stand alone gauge.

Deleted my previous vulgar post, but I would request the service manager offer you a complimentry rimming.

Good news, its virtually inpossible to OD on THC.
