    Picked up an S197

    Oil change time...sticker said Jan 2023 so it's been over year, even if the car has had only 1200 miles put on it since the last change. Had a little over 8 quarts in her, oil looked good. Had Valvoline filter and sticker on it. Running the finest Walmart Supertech now, and Ford filter. You...

    I don't plan on running anything but 93 for now. Previous owner must have ran it.

    Picked up an S197

    Yea looking at them in the photo they don't look orange at all. Garage lighting was a little different, I think they are just well used. Have a new set of NGK Iridiums on the way.

    Picked up an S197

    Pulled the plugs to take a look, running fine but general maintenance. All were dry, they all looked okay (if not a little toasty) but they were orange from octane booster. Coils all look good too. Really need to spray down the engine bay when we get some warmer weather.

    Did you say in the video you want to go Whipple 3.0? Are the Gen3R impossible to get now?

    Picked up an S197

    Took the car out for a spin tonight (literally). Actually feels more squirrelly but it was only 50 degrees out. Was toying with a Camaro and was spinning off and on in third and even a little bit still shifting to fourth. Had to adjust the exhaust a little, was touching the new panhard brace...

    Bank rate survey finds: 56% of Americans cannot cover a $1000 emergency

    My first job, I thought I was doing the right thing and rolled my 401k balance over when I left after 6 years... The problem was the guy had me get an annuity instead of just putting it in an IRA. When I checked on it years and years later, it was still sitting at like $25,000, I thought it...

    Picked up an S197

    Shifter bushing/bracket and panhard brace installed today (forgot to take a picture of it before I put it on) Went with J&M for some reason for the brace, now it won't match up with all my BMR stuff Done modding for now. Might do drag radials, we'll see.

    I'd consider a base model Mach E if it was cheap. Only problem is I would get range anxiety going to Detroit and back (190 miles round trip according to my phone), 300 miles would better. I think the Dark Horse would grow on me, especially with the Whipple, but man it would be hard to spend...

    Bank rate survey finds: 56% of Americans cannot cover a $1000 emergency

    I make about double what I did 5-6 years ago, but it seems like everyone else does too. Still live in the same house which we will have paid off in about 14 months (tripling up on payments for the last two years). Still driving my paid for 2016 vehicle. I piss away a little bit of money...
