Yep, true!

$250 for the parts, $262 for the ticket...at least the cop said I had a hot car. I guess my explanation about testing the speed delimiter didn't work.

And I checked with DMV...17 mos since I last took traffic school...1 month short!

But that intake is sweet, no more hesitation going from 1st to 2nd up a hill and a great boost of power at higher speeds. Even at $512 a great buy!

OMG...I can see that happening. I get pretty lead footed with the CGS in mine. Sorry to hear about the ticket...but at least the cop appreciated your cool car. $262 how fast were you going?

Hadn't quite reached the delimiter.

Well, it was the 395...open road, 4 lane highway, zero traffic, downhill...

Leaving Mammoth, I think South of Kramer Junction...I was pulled over where the 395 turns somewhat East (to begin to head over towards the 15) and another frwy keeps going due South.

Oh, Darin - so sorry to hear that man! (I told you to watch it!)

"I think it was the vent visors, officer...they're kinda aerodynamic."

Maybe you should stop by and we'll put your stock intake on for a while...
