I got a great deal on an OLED around Christmas 2020, and will never look back, until something better comes along. It's worth every penny.

I think it's true pretty much everywhere there is healthy camaraderie. I hate a formal, stuffy workplace.

So I guess there was a study released about how Ethanol might not be as clean as it has been believed to be.

Spike posted this a while ago. I’d take it with a grain of salt.

Of course. Once more studies are made and it can be peer reviewed I can start making other assumptions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

so the same mechanically-inept neighbor that gave me the free snowblower has a '96 lumina. probably one of the last lumina's in the midwest that hasn't entirely returned to earth, or become one with a telephone pole/ditch in the hands of a teenager. it ranks as the 2nd worst-shape car on the block, losing only to the dented and taped-up-window '91 camry rolling on a space saver spare, but that at least starts and moves every day. #toyota.
lately it's been at least once a day, but since last summer, he's been going out at random hours during the day, starts it, immediately revs it until it bounces off the rev limiter for 1-2 minutes at a time, and does this for about 10-20 minutes every time. tonight, he's done it 3 times since i got home at 5:00. as soon as he lets off the murder rev, the car sometimes idles like a lumpy cam, or just outright dies. newest guess is it's got an idle circuit malfunction, and he's attempting to 'fix' it as a driver-seat-mechanic, italian-tuneup style. of course, being a mid-90's car, it's likely a vacuum leak from the rats nest of hoses all those cars had... i don't want to ask about it, as i don't want to help fix it, or take the risk of getting a 'free' car out of the deal that's worth about $140 in scrap... so i sit here at 9:00 at night listening to a combination of murder-rev, and the starter cranking for 5 minute intervals just hoping to hear the pop of the motor giving up and sending a piston towards the heavens.

You know what I dislike most about Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds?
Too much cinnamon, and it's not even in the name! |

Someone stop me from potentially buying a 1983 RX-7 GSL track ready car from our employee forums for $3500.
From the vendor: Pros Runs and drives Roll cage No rust Weber intake and carburetor 22 gallon fuel tank from Fuel Safe HID lightbar Full fire suppression system Internal and external kill switches Radio with helmet cable Coilovers and stainless steel brake lines 600 miles since motor's last rebuild with no track time yet Cons No headlights or turn signals (only brake, reverse, and the lightbar) No power steering New Corbeau seat needs to be adjusted for proper clearance from cage Exhaust needs to be re-sealed Oil cooler has a slow leak (new CX Racing cooler included) No harness (Corbeau harness included) No rear or door glass (Someone smashed my dads 85 so I replaced the glass for him)
