Josh needs no advise, he's a Chick-Magnet with sporty cars living in California.

You have a long life ahead of you, and enjoy every damn minute of it, because it will go quickly. I started all over again at 50, but I can't get 18 yr old girls to look at me....lol. So, I have to play hard with the cars instead...
Speaking of high school sweatheart's... That was the first girl to add me on Facebook after I split with my ex, hmmmmmm lol.

I'm trying to enjoy all I can, while I can, while working my *** off as much as possible. Two promotions at work in the last 8 months, and calling my customers as often as I can to check on things.

Stopped drinking all night every night too. Started working out and eating a lot to try and bulk up. I'm up 5 pounds in 4 days. 6', 132 is what I started at Sunday, Wednesday I was 137. Haven't been on a calibrated scale since.

Well, about 4 minutes ago a girl posted a picture on instagram of her and her friend. What's funny is I dated both of them about 5 years ago, almost back to back. This picture was a throwback to around that timeframe and they were both wearing sweater's I bought for them while I was dating them lol. It had me laughing pretty hard because neither knew I dated the other for a pretty long time lol.

Another story in addition regarding those girls, is back in my girl wranglin days, I actually dated, or rather hung out if you will lol, with their whole clique at the same exact time except for those two. No clue how I got away with it for a year, but needless to say the two in the first story are still friends but neither of them talk to the others LOL.

A few months ago I was hanging out with these two girls with my friend, I actually sent Jimmy a picture of the one I was getting at, and after a 36 pack and two 1/5ths we broke out the moon shine one of my friends made and apparently I got the wild idea to jump and land superman style off of my roof, completely full weight on one knee lol. Needless to say I was babied in bed that night so it worked out pretty good lol.

Went to the bar about a month ago with my friend, after the 3rd round of jack the amazing looking waitress asked for a tip, I told her that it was extremely rude to ask for one and that I tip on the last round, and to hurry up and get my drink half off. When she came back I pulled her to the side and we talked about the night and what was going on. She explained about how no one was tipping and I gave her attitude tips and such, with a $20 tip lol. Needless to say I got some calls and text's the next day lol.

I hit up a girl with a direct message on instagram that lives 2 1/2 hours away asking for her number, and now I have fun when I'm in that part of LA lol.

A few days ago when my friends and I were boxing we got the women for that night involved, it was a good night lol.

There's way more, and way more to all of those stories lol but those are just some of the one's off the top of my head.

All I can say at this point is use protection my friend...use protection.... your leaping lizard is barely cooling down between hops.... You might have to have an inner cooler made for that hot rod... OK, I'm done now. Well, when your age or a little younger, on a bet, I once had 5 girls out on a date in 1 night. I had to bring each date by the gas station my buddies all hung out at to prove each was a true date, and that none knew the other. I won that one, but it took to midnight to pull it off. I also dated 2 girls that both worked at the same Dairy Queen. One on days, one on nights until the mgr scheduled them both on nights....that didn't end well.....carry on....

You need to take a couple of those hotties up for an F/A-18 joy ride…Yeah, that’s the ticket!


OT ~ This is the dreaded 1st “State Emissions inspection” month, due by June 31 and could make or break the CAA5 trip (no pressure). So I may need to visit with you or Team Viewer again… Mainly concerned with what mileage the State computer will see from the donor E55 ECU. Tried to access “vehicle history” via DAS but no luck so far…


1 more OT ~ FWIW, Cars & Coffee next Sat. AM, June 7. I’ll try for the NE corner with the Euro’s this time…Greg, Dan, Danny, Josh, Doc, Jimmy, Robert, Vicki… anyone?

I don't pretend to know your personal situation, but based on what I have seen other buddies go through in their divorces, especially when custody was concerned, I would offer you some advice...

The lawyers went through everything these guys posted online, facebook, forums, the whole 9 and found talk of drinking and womanizing and it led to not getting custody of the kids because it was not a sound environment for the children. He was a great dad and never did that stuff when the kids were around, but it didn't matter at that point, just because of the things he said online to some buddies. Be careful, everything you say is out there for all to see

Nice!! And yeah, I learned after the second one that I should probably be more careful lol.

The mileage in the ECU is tied to your Instrument cluster Steve. You are all good there. I can run through things before hand and check out all the coding if you'd like? Just to be on the safe side?

This is actually the only place I've posted any stories or anything like that. I'll make small remarks on Facebook and Instagram every now and then but not very often. I also don't post pics of women, and I very rarely post pics of alcohol. In fact I think I have 2 lol. I mostly just post pics of the kids, or the cars. If I post about women then it ruins the chances of getting any lol. They may frown at all the burnout pics and black lines though. I've been cooling it on that though lately. Too damn expensive lol.

Thanks Josh, that’s a load off.. I ran Lambda test twice today (DAS) and O2’s # 1,2,& 3 were wave cycling in unison but #4 (left – aft.) was almost flat lining until increased RPM’s to 1500 ~ 2000. At the higher R’s, #4 jumped right in w/the rest & cycled perfect… Ever see that B4?

Nope, not familiar with that. Maybe a fluke? DAS makes mistakes sometimes too. It could be a coroded sensor, or a slightly clogged CAT. Have you ran any WOT pulls?

Alright, I'll swap #3 & #4 sensors & retest....
Bite your tongue...cats are new

That's right! You did HiFlo's. It could be a failing sensor, let me know what happens when you switch them.

No Change ~ Unplugged & removed both 3 & 4 (post cat), swapped, then reinstalled..


Same Lambda test in DAS, several 60 sec. test and even though #3 O2 sensor’s in # 4s place, #4 it still lays low until 1500+. Heater test passed, mv test showed 750Mv +/- for each and all seems to be functioning.


Maybe I’m overthinkin this but here if you fail emissions then it’s like a Scarlet letter, like what you went through…


I’ll apologize in advance if the pic is the size of a Drive-in theater (can’t seem to get it right)


The dotted line is #3 Rt-Aft & the line along the bottom is #4 Lt_Aft (at idle)

Hopefully someone with more knowledge of the O2's could chime in. I'm at a loss. It seems pretty weird.

You're using the stock rear O2 sensor plugs and wiring correct?
