This is what happens when I run a catalytic converter on my car.

What is pissing me off is that every time it snows they are off by a factor of two. They said one foot we got over two. They say 2-3inches , we get six inches. So this next one will be another 4-8. I already have six foot high piles everywhere.

i'm still effectively snowed in. i saw a plow truck once last night, and that has been it. my hill was still solid ice when i woke up this morning. i am hoping that with the sunshine today it will melt to a point where i can at least get up it to get to the store.

i am running dangerously low on coffee and cigarettes.

i feel kind of like superman in my ice fortress of solitude.

i could. technically.

i may have to, but would prefer not to if possible. the way the street is right now there is just enough room for one car with high snow banks on either side from everyone tossing driveway snow in to the street. if by chance a car was coming down the hill as i was walking up it i would have to tunnel in to a snow mound real quick to avoid being run over.

other than that, i love this weather.

I think its funny after 4 to 5 full pages talking about mike and other shops, as soon as he comments on it the whole tread changes back to normal.

How do you add photos. Im having problems.

Based on the recent weather, I'd say we aren't doing enough to help global warming out. We all need to let our cars sit for about an hour each day running. Start up your mowers too.

Hey guys, was going through the car the other day and found the plot from the dyno day, I forgot they even gave it to me.

Looking at it makes me wonder. Since I put the cams in I didn't have a chance to fully dial in my ECU boost settings so occasionally boost would drop off to something pretty low up towards redline. My tactrix cable conveniently burned up right before I went to J&S, so I don't have any logs to see if boost dropped. After looking at the torque curve though Im pretty sure it did drop off. Might have a few ponies in her yet, any thoughts?
