The one I get all the time: "Is it supposed rattle and ride this rough?" They should have ridden in my old XJ that had Ford front coils! Now, that was a ROUGH ride!

Lmao. I got the same running question. Then he about had a heart attack as I used kerosene to clean the carbon off the pistons. I told him relax this thing is a 78 motor, it can run on leaded fuel so kerosene wont even put a dent in it!

I used to fight with a guy in a lowered and heavily modded Hyundai Tiburon for the spot closest to my apartment steps. It's mine now, cause he cant park there without getting dirt on his intercooler.
