What's a revometer? Is that pronounced rev-ah-met-er, or rev-oh-meet-er?

Yep, I have mine set at 6,100 ........ so, by the time I see it and react, its still under the fuel cut off ......

Your car needs a "tune" ....... then your red light will work ...... at least once .....

Check your glovebox. I hear a handful of cars got a 12v aux socket, but that's just what my friend Manuel told me

I actually taught a night course on EH&S law at the local college for a few years. My opening line was always "I am not going to instruct you on a single law in this class but when we are done you will know exactly where to find what you need, when you need it." It was far more effective then trying to remember thousands and thousands of individual facts in a six week course.

I had to google "EH&S law"

I'm still breaking my car in and find it very helpful. I've set it at 3500 so it's just a touch under the recommended 4000. I do find myself hitting that point quite often which shows just how hungry the car is for higher revs despite not having the best acceleration.

Best to keep eyes on the road and traffic.

Go up 1k more. That's the sweet spot.

Actually, 1001.

I knew I was doing it wrong.
