Too good to be true?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FUEL-...spagenameZWDVW

I was just browsing ebay when I stumble upon this, just want to see if anyone in the club heard of this thing and if someone has actually purchase it? Cause it kinda sound too good to be true. The vendor rep is excellent, but just want to make sure, 5min of installation, +14mpg, +30HP, for around $20 (after shipping)?!!!!

You don't even have to unbox it! Just put it in your glove compartment and it's like a 30 whp increase. It also keeps your socks smelling fresh and clean.

You'd be surprised what you can find on Ebay... I would wager a pretty penny that you could even buy a functional time machine there...

It was better you said something, it was funny for the first 5 minutes after his post about buying it, but I would have felt bad if he had gone and bid on it.
