Yeah you are you ****!
I know you too well.

I just took the EVO out for lunch and didn't have the cold start issue... weird. I'm wondering if I put it in full time open loop if it will still do it.

Having just driven the car again, I think I can live with the idle. It went as high as 2400, but came down after a minute or two. Should be ok, hopefully the neighbors wont mind so much. Love the way it pulls though..

I probably saw that evo during my online searching. Didn't go look at it... that's so messed up. It didn't really say if the kid was the only one wearing a seatbelt, but based on him being the only one left in the car it's probably a fair statement.

Nice, that's an old plane with a good engine. It has a Lycoming 540 cubic inch opposed six cylinder. Likely uses somewhere around 15 gallons an hour.

yeah, I googled it after I posted that and saw they are pretty old. honestly I'd be scared to fly in that thing... especially after seeing how he drives

I'm going to have to talk to him about adding a turbo or something. I remember seeing an old WWII documentry that they used to use n2o on some planes back in the day for extra power during dog fights. When the war was over and pilots came back to the states they started putting in on their cars. Thats how it because what it is today. Pretty cool.

if i were in a plane and being chased and shot at, i'd want to fire a 100 shot into the motor or throw the bottle at them to shoot and fly into.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, another know it all... I admit I'm a little surprised this software has this issue. I would have thought it was pretty much flawless as thats the way everyone sells it..

Just for that, I'm glad your car is doing it too..
