Talking 11 Dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so ive been bummin rides since monday of the week before last, thank God i have a good girlfriend. the shop i brought it to didnt even work on it the first week cuz they were busy and after getting it back for the weekend still not fixed i decided to bring it on back to them and see about finally getting my od frixed. anyways i got a call today saying it would be about a zillion dollars to fix it (TPS) i left there(he didnt charge me!) and went to radioshack and got my supplies and put my potentiometer on after spending 11 dollars even after tax. took it for a spin and went 80!!! couldnt believe it.

so my question is, since i have this extra money set aside that was to fix my od issue, what should i spend it on now? i wanna go faster...>>

Well. there's Turbo(s), intercooler,exhaust,gauges,trans upgrades,water/meth, NOS,propane, cylinder head upgrades, torque convertor, intake,. There's endless ways to spend it... I think the best way would be to send me the money and i can spend it for you

It's almost Christmas.

Just give 600 homeless people a dollar each and avoid the stress of deciding what to do with all that money.





















But then, on further consideration, one dollar ain't gonna be that much to them, so maybe you better just blow it on something for the truck.

random acts of kindness usually get repaid 10 fold. karma is both a and a great way to wake up some days. you caught a break why not spread it a little. not all of it by any means but a donation to a food bank or homeless shelter would be really cool this time of year as they could prolly use it.

I bought a preloaded grocery bag at the store today for $20. was loaded and will go to the local shelter.

then get gauges or a programmer.

It really bugs me when people who dont (or never have owned) a first gen chime in on first gen threads.

You can't use a programmer on a first gen. They use a totally mechanical injection system.
