Still on the M62 I'm assuming? Enjoy the whine! I remember putting my 3" Fujita on. I miss that sound. Only thing I miss about the M62 though.

Nice, intake's a good starting point, but your gas mileage will go to **** for a few weeks until you stop giggling every time you hear that WOT whine.

Just FYI, if you're in need of E85, better make your way to Monroeville or Pleasant Hills, because Robinson Sheetz is out of it. Mother *******.

Ohhh no, no E85, that sucks =(

Anyone get any hail damage a couple of days ago? Ohhhhhh, I'm mad, I have some very light dents on the roof and quarter panels of my Caddy! The hood and trunk are unscathed, but it had to go and dent the two pieces of metal you can't just easily replace. Now I get to decide on paying a deductable or living with it. Epic weather fail!


If anyone had any bad damage to their hood, they could always buy mine for $50 =)

No damage that I can easily see. I still haven't checked the Cruiser. The Cobalt didn't get hit with anything major, just some loosely formed snow/ice *****.

Wes says the pumps appear to be open again, so the car can get her fill of moonshine again tonight.

My mom got some damage on her '11 Kia Soul, she called insurance and its considered a "catastrophe" do to so many complaints, they arent charging her a deductible just a $50 comprehensive, so call your insurance about it first!

ugh, saw possibly the ugliest ss s/c on 19 north in north hills today. black, not sure what year.

had not 1 but 2 fart cannons. 1 of em in the stock location was angled, the other was just straight lol. had gaudy terrible lookin wheels, had sort of a gears of war logo where the bowtie was on the trunk, and a huge ass grenade sticker on the left side of the rear bumper

sounded SOOOOOOO horrible. had a nasty ass rasp to it once he got to probably 3k or so. i mean it was real bad lol.

wow....just..wow.
