Why do I bother!

Why do I bother with power adder and expensive crap and fuel injection when I could just have an old nova with a cheap bullet proof

THIS

and a set of bad *** flowing

THAT

This rant brought to you by the fact that although my car and cable scan fine with my pals old batteryless laptop, I cant get my new laptop or the toshiba I bought to do it and Im no closer to learning about tuning the B4C than I am to finishing the Z28 let alone tuning it or learning about putting a 749 ecm or any of that crazy stuff in it :~(

Hey, if it were easy, little kids would be doin' it. You're just trying to smart HP.

And as the Stifler would say

"yeah, its hard being smart"
