NYCGPS did you ever hear about cognitive dissonance? You're a victim of it.

(If japanese hurt your eyes, go here, Hey whats that ROTARY ENGINE OIL Label on their box?)

Point proven.
Hey, um, dude? Whats with being so ignorant? I didnt even say what kind of oil I ended up using...
There is no need to get so bent out of shape as you have been here, YOU put in your car what you want, I'll put in MY car what I want, and so will everyone else around here..

At the end of the day, we're all driving 8's and loving em, and thats really what matters...

I can only imagine the flaming I would have received from you if I had given syn a thumbs down..! Sheesh...


Nothing like making a gal feel welcome!
