Sabine seems to be driving alright, but I'm pretty sure that the timing is off. Around 4,000 RPM under full throttle (And it did this with the auto, too) the engine gets this high frequency vibration and it doesn't sound right by any means. Mind you this probably isn't the 3,800rpm hesitation...for the simple fact that it doesn't hesitate. It keeps revving, sure, but there's not near the power there should be and the noise/vibration it makes is so not normal.

Also, fuel injectors...still leaking...sucks to start..yep.

I need new plugs too.

Absolutely Donnie, Dec 2 is a go. We can help you study for your exams if that will help.

I'm looking to pick up another heat shield for the Silver One if Billy shows up, time to get that buggy on the road.

Hey guys, here's my new car:



It's an electrically powered rotary with the engines in the wheels. They say the thing will do 250 mph without emissions (it runs on a power grid embedded in the pavement). They should have the grid installed on the I85 HOT lane by then, maybe they'll be adding a lane for the electrics.

How many 12A equivalents would this get at a meet?

I am hoping to make it out, at least for a little while, on Dec 2.

Michelle came home from the hospital yesterday, great to have her home!

That's great news Mike, I hope she is feeling well and home for good this time. Cathy is whipping up a big T'day dinner for the two of us, plenty of extras if we can help out with y'all's dinner.

I'm not sure about 12A equivalents for that beast, the original 12A and that electric powered rocket are about as different as democrats and republicans. Anybody got any suggestions?

The Kaan does have a robot look to it, kind of like a cross between Tim's lotus and one of these:

You wish

So I'm sitting in my room trying to figure out this damn car alarm. I took the whole little board thing out of the box and pulled the speaker thing and I still can't get the damn thing to arm... if I ever get it to do that I'm gonna try to get it to where the horn beeps too... anyways... enough of that. Happy Early Thanksgiving OGTA!

And I forgot to say- I was leaving my low-class neighborhood yesterday evening with my girlfriend and I got pulled over by some cop at the end of my street supposedly for my window tint being too dark... He had some little box he sat over the window and it read like 34 I think. And the limits like 31 or something around there. I just thought I'd mention that... GL Collin

WHAT!

Oh **** dude. I am sorry to hear about that. I don't have a good tail light, but I can pull the bumper off my other rx and you can have that.

I want to ask for pictures, but I don't feel like crying
