I need fewer distractions in my life lol.

So.......what do I win? I've never been to Vegas before, so maybe I'll be needing a ski session in the desert someday. Or a ride to the nearest wh***house.

Regardless, glad you got it fixed!!!

btw: It happens to all of us. Thanks for sharing it man!

Yes on the ski session if you ever get here. The wife wouldn't approve of the other activity though

You know it's funny, I can tell immediately if any of my inline six engines are misfiring. Couldn't tell with this V8, not by sound anyways.

You're always welcome to a pull here if you're ever near NJ/NY/PA.
