loving e85, did a 2nd gear pull yesterday with my son. We hit a minor dip in the road and busted the tires loose to the limiter, we both looked at each other and giggled. 1.91 a gallon for race gas, that's what I'm talkin bout!

Now this is too funny as I can only imagine my baby girl giggling at me too. She is only three but already knows how to say, "Turbo!" She's hooked...

Mine, at the age of three, has already completed her first 1-2 shift and drove around the corner while sitting in my lap. She is still working on getting the steering wheel back to straight after making the turn.

The things we do with our kids, eh? I remember one time I forgot to latch the child seat down for my baby girl and when I made a spirited right turn I looked back and she was stuck in her car seat that had flipped over on its side. You should have seen me trying not to crash, shift gears, and flip her back over. When I got home, she immediately went to "snitch mode" and told my wife that I turned her over in the car.

My daughter is definently not a Co-D....she tells everything with the innocence of a child that hasn't learned the sometimes they need to keep their mouth shut. LOL.

I just want to say that I'm hating all of you guys that have a local E85 gas station. The closest one to my house is about 35 miles one way.

I seriously would crack out if I didnt have access to it. I skipped the one I went to normally because there a bunch of cops in there I and I didn't want to get hassled and I limped ot the next closest one.....I barely made it only to find out they haven't had it in a month and have no clue when they are getting more. I was so annoyed..I took a gallon of 93 and went to the nexto ne (All of these were on the way to my destination....filled up and then topped off on the way home.

I still have to tune my pump map but its just too damn fun.
