I'm on E85 so I kinda gotta let the car warm up to about 100* or it just falls on its face. LOL
How long does that take on winter? Lol

as for that marble dropping sound, my car does it when i turn it off accompanied by a high pitch electronic whine, then the "marble" drops twice :P
This. It's the evap system and it's normal.

i wait about a min or 2 to let my car idle down from 1400RPM's to about 1000RPM's. the drive slow,3K shifts and no boost.

ive herd on the SS/TC's you can pop map or maf sensors if you go into boost before its at operating temp. not sure if its true or not though

You guys have literally gone over three pages of saying just about that same thing... That's cool... there are some good laughs in there!

My car is ornery and won't go into drive until a good song is playing and warmin' the speakers. She don't care about no engine temps.
