    "Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.

    Just got a call from the dealership.....

    the ecu and immobiliser have been reprogrammed and its ready to go, cost = 142 bucks!

    woot!!! the trick i think is to go in there and know what you want from them..... this morning i dropped it off and said the immobiliser isnt recognising my key, here are the anti-theft codes......

    sweet cant wait to drive her tonight!!!

    now for the money i put aside for that work.... i might look into suspension upgrade.. !

    well done and good to see shes back up and running
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
