haha, yea unfortunately I cant pull that off in my grand prix, so I just give the good old fashioned brake check to let them know to back off.

What kind of person is dumb enough to tail gate in this kinda weather, never understood that...

And no, but it will make for a long day.
Thanks. And no I couldn't bring myself to drink at that point.

I had a water pump to change on my 7! (Yes...in the 12" of snow....)
At this point my ignition is not firing so I have to double check the wiring.

Woot!! Got the motor started today!!

It turns out I made one dumb solder connection and part of the plug was not plugged into the haltech.

I may not get much progress after this, so when it comes back to naperland I will have to tune it and get a muffler installed so it doesn't sound like a race car.

Lower octane gas should fire off better in colder temps.
