LOL!

Mom's Audi A4 2.8 is somewhat 'too much car' for my experience.
You hit the accel pedal slightly, and the thing is rocketing off.
(5 valves per...)

Quite surprising for a station wagon, and quite a nasty surprise for the kids in the Honda Civics.

Had a VW Dasher with a bad ignition switch.
It would do odd stuff like make the lights go nuts and various other inexplicable things.
All from a little 3 buck at most switch.

A 400 dollar picture tube will protect a 10 cent fuse by blowing first.

By the time I got rid of the Oldsmobeater, I had the curb weight down around 4000lbs (down from 5500) and it'd cut a 1/4 mile in around 12 seconds@125MPH. No NOx needed.

I'd love to get a chance to tinker on my Camaro some more. Maybe if we end up buying some investment property down here, I can finally get her hauled down here. The engine will need a new gasket set, but the rest should still be ok. I needed to rebuild the tranny anyway.
