Cars have a sentimental value to men, just like bags and shoes have sentimental value to women. We don't understand why..., if they mess up a dress, they throw it out. Our car gets a bad scratch..., we take it to the shop and get it repaired. Your house gets knocked down in a bad storm..., you get some things back, but everything isn't covered. No different than a car.

Regardless on what the car is worth to everyone else, the value of the car to that individual can't be equated to a price.

I think we all can agree to that.

wtf is this boost controller? you cant make extra boost out of a supercharger with a boost controller, you understand that right? thats where the pulleys come into play.
