Just checking.

i lol at their pos service of "on time" delivery when the store used priority mail, 5 days late and still considered "on time."

my wife rarely swears, but when i facepalmed about this ordeal she said 'u do know usps stands for US Piece of Shittt.'

i

yah, i suppose.. but i still use the factory plug. i lol at those 'magnetic' plugs. wooooo~ wtf mang.

like that little coat of black metal particles on the magnet is REALLY helping your engine.

I never did understand magnetic plugs. If little tiny metal shavings cause that much damage, something else is totally screwed on the car.

As for race ramps....no. I need to feel like a man in my youthful age of jacking a car up.

Yeah Lexus needs to step up their game with that crap. The IS is not a bad car, outside of the weak HP delivery. Can't believe they stuck the same tired lump in the RC, too.

What's so special about that V8 they need to charge $20,000 extra for it?

I'm working with the GF now to get her comfortable starting on an incline. She tends to freak and launch the car at the slightest glimpse that it's rolling backwards. If I couldn't move the Civic up a ramp, I'd revoke my man card right now.

Wasn't Mrs. Pint looking at one? They look wicked mean, but yea. They're only a 100hp bump over a Toyobaru.
