I think it's a graph USA Today would be proud of.

Maybe Fox News as well. But USA Today might want a little more infographic action going on.

Then there is this:




Plenum and HFCs are waiting for install. Area Z shops are a bit backed-up, but soon I'll be able to pass the neighbor's '70 L48 quicker than a 7 layer burrito.

Excellent stuff bro..

Hey look! someone selling oil coolers!

I do like that chart better as it leaves the mileage out. I've never had a car engine die on me, the rest of the car always dies long before the engine goes. However, this is the first sports car I've owned so maybe I will kill the engine sooner than the rest of the car.
