Grit on the plugs

So - I'm guessing a sandy like grit on my lower spark plugs is a bad thing??

And my 4 month old starter went up. AND my back-up car (1985 ford van) was still being worked on, so I went and picked it up, then blew a tire on 295 on the way to work.



At least I don't work for SpaceX...they had a "NASA Bad Day" on Friday...

sup!

So, I get off of work today at around 8:00, its really wet on the ground, I had a horrible day at work, my knee is completely cut up, an 80lb object slammed on my finger thus ripping off my nail/my finger making a nice pool of blood.

So I start driving home, made the age old mistake of putting a bit too much gas, I countersteer and run into the grass!, thinking I fuckked up my car, I take a look and its all alright!!! WOOHOO!!!! My first **** up in my car in 2 years that I've owned it. This is a day to go down in the record books!

Mint 90 Convertable for sale (Not mine) for 2.5K OBO

Mind you convertable SHELLS in that condition go for that much.

It's an auto, but it isnt like I dont have manual trannies just laying around :p

If I could afford it, I'd like to swap all the stuff from my 'vert into that one. The body is so nice . . .

Somone buy it for me, late birthday present :p

So yeah, I guess I am pretty busy...

BTW, to answer your question, it's most likely not as functional as you'd think it'd be....

A functional adjustable spoiler would allow you to change the actual angle of the wing, not just the height.

"Tested to work at 85 MPH" is probably just code for "tested to make sure this POS doesn't fall off and still goes up and down" instead of proof of actual functionality
