Wow, you better put on your flame suit because your grammer and punctuation usage is gonna cause you problems on here. Dont make it a habbit. No one wants to read jumbled runnon sentences littered with poor grammer.

And the cars do puff black smoke.

Just so you know, the oil level has nothing to do with running rich.

Runs rich from the factory for safety. It will do that for it's entire life unless you get it tuned ...

The Sentra owner probably just wanted a better look at the car that just blew him away.

Maybe they come in three packs. You have "for sell" in your vehicle profile box. Should be "for sale"

To the OP:

What are you doing racing a Sentra?
You actually pull over when people flash you and let them look at your car?

If I am not mistaken, there is a break-in period until about 3k miles. (could be wrong on this) Careful not to beat on it too much right away.

Please tell me you made tons of similar mistakes on purpose, sarcastically??? If so, that's hilarious. If not, still hilarious!

"you better"
"grammer"
"Dont"
"habbit"
"runnon"
"grammer" (again)


going back over it, I'm sure you did it on purpose

Lets all have a good laugh when he races an undercover cop and the cop flashes his hazzards and arests him when he pulls over XD
