On second thought I will probably look like a person with anger problems throwing wrenches, cussing up a storm and threatening random people when they walk by to see whats wrong.

But oh well

Congrats!

I'm sure you'll be a regular here...
May you reach the point where your time spent behind the wheel is greater than time spent under the hood.

Hopefully the owner didn't die from a heart attack after mashing the loud pedal!!

Congratulations on your score. Extra points for keeping us abreast of the drama!

I do feel your pain, my truck gets 8MPG but I like to feel the turbos spool in all 3 gears, even in heavy traffic. Power adders :rockon:

Congratulations man, glad to hear you like it. Good things come to those who wait. I probably would have gone psycho on those bast***s and would probably be in jail right now instead of enjoying my car
