Old man put 90 octane in my 7

I went home on leave, and while there my dad confessed to putting 90 octane in my car. He is keeping it while I'm in the marines. I jumped his *** and told him never to do that **** again. He's such a cheap ***. I don't think there was any adverse effects. Scared the **** out of me.

Tell him to give you a $3000.00 deposit to cover a new engine, or choke off the extra 10 cents a gallon for premium.

Main thing, tell him not to maintain high boost. It'll run fine even with 87 as long as it's not taken into boost.

I don't like taking chances. The highest we get is 92. My 17 year old brother is now the caretaker. He's scared to drive it, so I think it'll be okay.

I let him drive it with me in the passengers seat. He shifts at 3K or 3.5K everytime. I wish I could stand to drive like him.

He did the same when him and his friend swiped the keys and took it for a spin. I did the same with my dad's mercedes. I knew better than to beat on it.

One reason why a Power FC kicks ***.

Step 1: Set Rev Limiter for 3000 rpms.

Step 2: Put Commander in zip lock bag, then in Ruck Sack.

Step 3: Deploy with Commander.

Step 4: Mount it in HMMWV and pretend like you are keeping tabs on boost and water temp whilst screaming through the streets of Baghdad.

Problem solved
