H.W.
My grandpa said the georgia overdrive line when I coasted in neutral with him in the car. Never heard it before that. I just figured it was just him saying "state" overdrive, but I guess it really is a thing.

I also tried a warm air intake in my car, I used dryer vent to suck air off the front pre-cat. It got the temperature up, but the car must monitor the intake temperature and assume the engine bay temperature is too hot, so it runs the fan constantly. No boost in mileage for me..
The vent hose also was too small (3"?), when I took it off it felt like the car had another 40 horsepower.
