were there alot of cars?

After we left the strip with the rotary pick up it died on the highway. Looks like a fuel delivery using aka the pump makes noise but doesn't appear to be pumping, joy a 3:30 to bed night.

Decent amount... I really didn't notice anything other than a million hondas and one retarded nice supra. Other than that, it was just cool to chill.

the oem ign coils from a board memeber on here. and then i payed $75.15 for the plugs and wires at advanced auto parts online. free shipping since it was still over $75 mark. they have a %20 off labor day weekend special right now so get them now!

if your total comes to over $100 after the 20% deduction you get a $50 extra kick back off your next online purchase between sept 16 till oct 16.

hurry.

dont be to surprised if your total comes out to $85+ for the plugs and wires. i got an extra $10 off.

I paid 60 shipped for my plugs from advanced auto. Coupons ftw. If i recall correctly, they had a set of wires for about 25-35, and the coils, for all four, would have been about 110.
