They really do look amazing in person and are hard to give the justice they deserve in photography.

Yup they are I think I got a good pic of how they look but they look better in person for sure. Wiring is as simple as it gets, maybe in some time I'll try something different but same concept

Yesterday an old lady in a Hyundai Santa Fe slammed on her brakes in front of me, making me serve around her, then tried to catch up but I said **** that and floored it. She came out of nowhere and had no reason to do that.

Then today on the way to work I see an old guy in a Buick Enclave coming up fast so I moved over. Same thing, he got in front of me and the dodge truck next to me straddling two lanes and slammed on his brakes. Both me and the guy in the Ram had the same "**** no" idea and floored it and went on either side of him, flipping him off and leaving him far behind.

I got off the freeway and some bitch in a Prius decided to tailgate dangerously close and start swerving in the lane but refused to pass. So I flipped her off, floored it and passed a guy in front of me, and left her behind him instead. So what the actual **** is going on lately? I'm done with this.

Dude old people are horrible on the road it's just something to learn to live with. I was going 20-25 around a corner tonight and an old lady had the nerve to walk on my friends door and ask for his mom(idk why?) and told her she had no idea how fast I was going around the corner. "It must have been 40" lol it was so lame. She just got annoyed with the old lady. It was a road that was kind of curvy and I was driving the speed limit pretty much. They just hate cause our cars are loud and modded and that's why they all do it. I seriously get boxed in all the time and have to find a way around people.

Prius owners/drivers are some of the worst if not the worst out there.

I don't know what it is, but for some reason they think their hybrid cars are ok to drive fast because they are environmentally friendly or something. Drives me nuts.

it's the new yea and old people realized they have nothing to live for? Or they want a new car on someone else's dime....

And any Prius drive you see outside of being in a major city.... Immediately assume they are an idiot. The hybrid works best for short drives and repeated stop and go, on open roads and the like they run on the gasoline motor like a regular vehicle...,

Funny thing is I had a dash cam but my ignorant family member sat on the cord and it broke the socket so I can't mount it anymore. I should probably get another one soon.

I hate Prius owners 99% of the time. The arrogance with which they drive slow in the left lane, or tailgate, or road rage is infuriating. Someone needs to come up with a derogatory term for Prius owners similar to "white privilege," then come up with a campaign saying "owning a Prius doesn't entitle you to more of the road" or whatever.

I did a pull intentionally past a Volt. The only problem was that instead of blowing its doors off, I blew my hood off

You ever driven one? They are downright dangerous at high speed. Cookie cutter wheels, sloppy shocks, and awful brakes=disaster.

I did get one to 107mph though (according to speedo). Biggest adrenaline rush I've ever had.

Just finished up........ 60's, 2.8, dual pass, option b, rebuilt the blower those bearings needed it lol. I was lucky since I discovered I had a leak out of the snout seal and I only recovered about 2 oz of fluid. All new gaskets and some extensive manifold cleaning. Along with the usual, proper plugs and new pcv. Just fired it tonight and checked it out. Small 25 rpm drift at idle. Nothing bad. Most would probably not even notice but I do lol. I would imagine it is from the 60's since I checked it out for vacuum leaks and have non. Ls4 tb is definitely a touchy setup lol. Looks like I will need to readjust the maf a bit in the zzp tune. Will be dialing in this weekend hopefully. Going to just temporarily install my F.A.S.T wideband that I always used on the dyno to get some numbers so I know where it is at. Looking forward to driving the car.

Ported m62 , installed LS4 TB and installed ZZP 3" intake I scored off ebay for 100 bucks.
actually made a huge difference, wasn't expecting much, only changed the TB because my stock one crapped out.

I also unintentionally turned my 6 rib belt into a 5 rib belt...

Someone at LKQ has a good eye. They had what looked like a ZZP long tube for sale, but I wasn't sure if it was an actully ZZP header of the Chinese knock off.

Beat another V6 mustang today with an extra 300lbs of people in my car. But my nephews wanted to see me prove that I could beat a mustang without boost or nitrous so I obliged.
