I generally cruise freeway 60-65, though I have no cruise control so lots of modulation. Highway = zombie cruising for me, always so tired after work. Though I do usually make a few runs through our lil 'touge' course on the way out of work. I am really trying to avoid driving so much anyways...

Which brings me to; I need a fixie. Anyone a bike nut? I want to pick up a cheap road bike or a fixie. Figure I should start riding to work in a month or 2 when the snow stops. Ive slowed down to using my erg only 1-2x a week.

So during my adventures of swapping cats, midpipes and straight pipes I am back to stock. I had an exhaust leak at header to cat. Was a missing gasket ring, now fixed. Had squeaky exhaust as well, fixed with a rear exhaust doughnut from a grand national (just the random turbo stuff laying around). Now I start the car and am flooded with exhaust. Coming straight from the vents and chokes me out if I sit at a stop light. In going to make time tomorrow to figure this out. Going to use the Oxy-Setaline torch to search for the leak around the exhaust manifold. I have a hunch there is a crack. If that's the case will be a quick and easy fix. Grind and tig weld it shut. The cat too could also be trashed from hitting speed bumps and what not. Midpipes for sale anyone?

Maybe I should push my car off a cliff...I don't care for it anymore. Never happy with it . Buy my car Nate.
