8 to the wheels sounds with proof. OK. Though I'm sure it "felt" like 20.
You don't really understand satire do you, as in the Tornado jab.

MrDoosh, oops, I mean Senior Tool, oops I mean Member, MrMiata must not either.

What did you mean by this? I 've performed a bunch of work on our intakes and figuring out just what we have and the best way to improve it.

Have you?
MAX! You took this the complete wrong way lol. I was saying that we've all come up with facts, yet he said he didn't care how we "feel". So it was a sarcastic joke towards his statement. You're a great asset to this forum, something this Nick guy obviously will never be...

I'll disregard the Junior statement since you took what I said the wrong way. If you met me, or knew me, you'd understand why being referred to as a "kid" offends me. I'm doing quite well compared to most 30-40 year olds.......

I know you have, and for the record I have as well... On the Crossfire, and the E55. You saw my statement to Nick about all the obstruction and design flaws.

Well done Josh !
You DO NOT want to make Max mad, he'll send his son to visit you ( 6'6", 280 + pounds ).
And Max is not exactly what you'd call scrawny himself.

We are too much alike, therefore I probably shouldn't like you.
I'll probably be at this fall's Dragon, I'll buy you a beer.

Sell that thing.. get some therapy.. Hell I'd be po'd too...

We see little reason to buy a ZX2 Coupe over a Focus. The ZX2's lower price might be attractive, but the difference isn't that great. All the while, the Focus has a roomier interior, better suspension and handling, and better crash-test scores. If the ZX2 were middle management, it would probably be fired by now.

Josh,

I'll apologize, but I re-read that and your wording still sucks.

Buddy?

I SAID I'm sorry.

So, you do recognize the value of CAI's? I thought you were leaning up against the "Debunked" vid?

I'm old...and a bit confused...
