That's real talk. Or not warming it up and "Haloing" it.

sorry but i dont take chances , so i just fill it up with 91 v-power to MAKE SURE.

plus about the list thing, i told him he could borrow my 86 and he didnt want to -_-. id much rather have people borrow my accord or my 86 rather than my 8, i mean like why? it'll just costem more to fill it up. and they get worse gas mileage.

Never do anything you don't want to do. If you felt funny about letting him borrow it, you probably should have just apologized and said no.

because i feel like he's gonna do everythingwrong with it.

he totally guiltied me into borrowing it. bahhh im sooo weak.

because he taught me how to drive in his mr2. 3 years ago.

and never asks for anything

BUT.

he didnt even warm up my baby = (.
and i bet he's pushing the redline right when he got out of the neighborhood.
and im very picky about my gas and he said "gas is gas"

i told him i only put 91 v-power from shell in my car.

and i have a feeling its coming back with 87 arco.


DAMMMNNNNNNN THEEE WORLLLDDDDD.

/end rant.

ima go play grid to make me feel better.

huh? I get 93 here in FL. And unless you're FI, you usually do not need the higher octane.

People need to look up what octane is. Just because it costs more doesn't mean it's better.

Meh, my uncle is legally blind and I took it down to show him the week I got it and he hopped the drivers side and started adjusting the seat and mirrors. I thought he was just getting comfortable... He starts it up, backs up, burns out, rips up the street, cuts a guy off (he obviously didn't see the guy because his one eye is dead and the other has 30% vision) to turn into the park and comes back. Now that scared me...

Huh? People need to look up what detonation is. Just because your engine doesn't fail right in the spot doesn't mean it's not doing damage.
