You don't need a choke in AZ Sid.

Just got interviewed by the police and the adrenal glands were working a bit hard. This isn't looking good. I wish they didn't have the stupid no firearms policy here at work. I can't say any more at the moment.

Off to music practice now.

Old gas even with stabilizer sucks big balls. Especially that alcohol laden stuff. Drain out a few gallons of the old stuff and put mix it in with the fresh stuff in your daily driver. Filter it to get any crud out. A few gallons spread over your car and Tweezes car will not hurt them. Fill the bug with fresh gas and stabilizer and try again.

Bugs are almost as hard to get running as a lawn mower.

Evening Y'all,
I was heading home tonight when some jack wipe in an autozone special Honda of many colors just had to pick on the old man in the hairdresser car. Dude, I'm fifty years old driving a damn Boxster get a grip, I don't play. Well he just had to keep revving at me at a redlight and he was sitting next to me. Yeah I turned the traction control off, nailed the gas, dunped the clutch and snapped the car 180 and ended up looking at him through my windshield and his, I hate punks. It sounds like a killer feat but it is raining.
Sid, have you taken a look in the fuel tank? Like is it sluffing rust and stopping crap up?

Yep, old fuel and crap in the system. I talked to my brother today. We talked about many things and I was wrong his van is a 1972 camper. He thinks it is 480,000 miles but it might be 580,000 miles. He has owned it since 1974.

He said most problems like yours is old fuel.

Better get my wheels done soon.
No DST in AZ and we rarely see lows in the 30s and 40s!

The filters are clean so I don't suspect rust in the tank, but I need to drain the fuel and get new in there!

Yep, I have officially gone off the deep end.

Been chatting with the guys making 928 the twin turbos. Their design was originally put together by Callaway and they have made tons of improvements. So far they have been bolting turbos, etc. on stock 5 liter 928 motors and keeping them together making more power than strokers or superchargers. They are very excited about putting together a 5.4 liter with lowered compression.

An 800 rwhp twin turbo 928 GTS would be TOTALLY AWSOME! Legendary even.

But, before I commit I will have to go drive these guys cars. Don't want to end up with something like my brother's Shelby Super Snake. It is totally undriveable, touch the accelerator and it spins the tires.

Man, i'd love to see, hear, and drive an 800 HP 928, but as you said, maybe it would be a bit much, or is that possible ?

Morning.

Temps are below zero this am but predicted to be in the 40s next week.

I've noticed that when the temps start to go up people are in a better mood. A brutal winter like we had this year and last just wear on everyone.
