What a week. Things I have learned:

Bruce Springsteen made one of the most amazing songs, capturing the spirit of my youth and many gear heads throughout America. Thanks California98Civic!

EOC can be accomplished without snapping your head off at the neck in a high-performance V8 car. "Gut wretching" acceleration is fun but not every 20 seconds.

I'll never be able to drive 1 complete tank without 'raking the coals to it' so a decent 90 day average is out of the question. I'm kinda like the guy that shows up at an AA meeting with a half empty flask, but maybe not quite as bad as the guy that gets into a fight at an anger managment group meeting.

I managed to get 101.63 mph Friday night at the track. Its amazing what a tune and some minor hardware changes can do for performance. I wish I could get that in mpgs too.

Drag radials perform poorly while driving through a monsoon (at night).
