You like cars, buy some cars. It's easy but takes great discipline. Shoof can probably give you some great pointers. You might end up with a nice toy or at least drive some nice toys before you sell them. I'm considering doing this with the cash I have. Check your state laws, there's probably a limit to the number of times you can do this without having a license.

I need too....Gotta do something for the extra $$$....I like working on cars but I dont feel like charging any of the KC peeps, they are like family

I am working on a website though....the app and 2 websites should be out sometime in September....I am hoping that will pay for the kids (yes KIDS) college and my Fewwawi

529's are ok if you find the right one AND read the fine print. Great tax benefits (and loopholes) if you play them right. Some other form of savings as a safety net is always a good idea. I sent a bunch of stuff via PM so consider this a small addendum



Happy Friday all

Dude.. last week, get into the office. We have these canister coffee makers like this:




I fucking get in like a zombie.. make a fresh brew, then press the canister to pour coffee in my cup. Except I didn't put a cup down.. fresh hot coffee everywhere. Fuck me..



A fellow engineer is there.. he says "I've never seen that before"
Me.. "haha.. fuck you, I need coffee" (proceed to drink coffee off counter, soak up remaining coffee with paper towel an ring it into cup, walk away).

we used to have water coolers at the office, but I remember one time I was picking up the 5 gallon jug to put on the cooler, and my hands slipped.

5 gallons of water every where on the floor. fml.

No worries at all. I'd rather let someone else find out what sleepy swoosh is capable of though.

JustinJH, I used a variety of defoulers and gas/seafoam to clean mine. I was getting bogging from the AF sensor telling it to run rich. Also, once you clean/change anything, give the system some time to cycle...there's a chance it'll clear itself. I gave up and thought I'd have to live with the stupid CEL and then 2 weeks later, bam, disappeared for nearly a year now.

^No. Truly they are the best bang for your buck HP wise.

They are just harder to install then the jpipe. I believe that's why most of us would recommend the jpipe as a good first power mod instead of PCDs/HFPCs.

The stages aren't really upgrades. They change sound and that's about it.

Jpipe $450
PCD $400 / HFPC $600
Catback $1000+

~$2000+ for full exhaust upgrade.
