To help with hot air removal I installed a hood vent off a mustang. Less than a hundred bucks off E-Bay.

Yes I do track my car, or at least did. Last year I competed in the TRD Cup Time Attack. three 2nds, two 1st, I ended up 2nd in my class. Not bad for an Old Fart in an Automatic.

So how many people do you think get all pissy when they see that car parked there and have no clue what the Flexfuel badge means?

At least one. A old lady in a Pris or something like that.

She asked How dare you park your car here?
I said I'm running e-85, Are you?
She said "NO" there's no e-85 available here.
I said yes I know, I drive all the way to Desert Hot Springs to get my e-85. It's worth it to me to save the planet.
I said, "So your running gas"?
She said yes.
I said get your fu*king fake piece of shit out of this parking spot and off my earth you phony fake 2bit half ass enviromentalast.

She was not happy.
