    2 MSPs spotted...

    in Bremerton on Jan 25. One was black, and I know he/she lives out by my girlfriend in Seabeck. I didn't get a chance to talk to that one as it was heading the opposite direction. The other was a Titanium 3.5 and was parked at a mini mart. I pulled a u-ie and stopped to talk to the guy. His...

    Why a Turbo Timer?

    Cruising through the posts, I see there are a number of you run a turbo timer. I'd like to know why do you run one? I'd also like to hear from the folks who don't run one, and is it just financial thing, or do you think you just don't require one? Just looking for some input on a decision...

    Flickering Lights

    I've noticed since I've had my MSP that at night the headlights will flicker regularly. Does this car have such a piss poor alternator that when the radiator fan comes on it draws so much initial current that it causes the lights to dim a bit? And I swear if it happens while I'm...
