^ Sadly its true... after initially taking my car in for an oil change, i mentioned to Pete how the car seemed to lose power @ 5000 - 5500 rpm... (remember i mentioned right about when I got the intake installed how the car seemed to lose power..) i thought it was just the heat making the car seem sluggish... well, after Dion (<--spelling) ran some tests it was apparently more than that..

I told him about our Tri-state meet and asked what were the chances of the car being fixed by then... he said they're hoping to get it done around the end of this month

I didn't get the actual compression readings, but at this point i guess it doesn't matter since it was enough for it to get replaced.

So, till then i'll be pimpin the rental... got an Impala but smelled kinda funky, swapped for a Yaris last minute only to find out that it has no power features: door locks, windows, etc.. so i'll be stopping by again to ask for another replacement.

You too - it must be catching.

10w/30 is fine for the winter (below 90 degrees) but summer in our heat 20w/50 is better.

He needs to get a job too. Can't aford the cell phone. He appears for a time and then disappears. Oh well if he does not appear in time I guess we can fall back on our usual meeting place.

He has a cell it just doesn't have service.

Man what is up with all the 8's getting transplants around here.

I went to Peoples Mazda today for my Sirius Satelite radio and took a look at the new 09 RX8's, meh it's really not that big of a deal to tell you the truth. The LED tailights are nice and the bigger exhaust tips are too...that is about it that I liked form a cosmetic standpoint. I took a ride in the new Evo while I was there, mmm torque and nice recaro seats hugged my body like a big black guy did once, but that was about it for that as well, it actually felt kinda like a sedan.

Edit: He was trying to save me from an angry mob at a Ludicris concert. Geez. I'm going to the gym anyone wanna go?
