You've got to be kidding me

SO im driving home tonight and its my first day back with my car after a month and a half of not having it and than all in a sudden it say engine power reduced and the car flat lines took me three trys to wake it back up and the car can't get over 30 mph and is sputteing like a bastard. I'm so tired of this **** any bet the motors blown now. I see me losing the car for another 2 months.

well you could blame the dealership for putting 87 in the ******* thing. any dealership within a 10 mile radius would feel my wrath if that happened after a month and a half.

That's why I always demand a recceipt when the dealership fills up my tank for any reason. I tell them 93 only, and I want to see a receipt.

yeah starting too. Well either my car is beasting or i got a cloged cat cause im steady boosting between 15 and 17.5 psi depending on what gear im in. The car feels like its ok but i can tell theres something missing from my 40 mph punches its not to noticable but i can feel it. I'm gonna have to run somebody to see how my cars acting. A 350z damn near had my cookies from a dig plus I almost got taken out by a big body audi yesterday, one of the top model ones but still. I had my girl in the car thats unacceptable. I was dicking around and let him hit it first but i almost didn't come back for the win. I don't know my paranoia starting to set in.

We'll have a track and street title. Will start all over clean slate with the crown for the track. And texas phil has given up the street title to Marc since he know longer wants to run on the street. If Marc is also about to retire from street racing for a while that means crown goes to Inhale. Which means It will go back to my hand by default if two of the fastest cobalts on longisland nolonger want it.

oh yeah just so you have an update car's finally started to settle back in. Over boost is calming down (I don't go past 16 psi really any more) And the car in general feels a whole lot more like before it broke 2 months ago. I play'd with the sensors on the throttle body since i did remember seeing them have alot of that stuff off my car so they probly didn't hook it back up right. I'm amost starting to feel invincible again like if my cars moving already good luck trying to win. I don't want to jinx myself guys but Darksun may finally be back........
