So is it going to wrap up soon? Hell, no! Afterall, the thirst for more POWAH is unquenchable. Period.
Though i got really tulan with my ride acting up today. The handling felt funny when i got her back from the paint shop just the other day. Sent her for alignment this morning & upon inspection found that one of the rubber bushing on the front left lower arm has cracked. Damn. Had it replaced in a dime at my mechanic's shop before sending her back for re-alignment. And then she went kaput in the middle of a roundabout during the test run. KNNCCB! The distributor coil & chip KO-ed pulak! Ended up spending my precious holiday there to get it fixed! CB... & those parts ain't cheap. My ride is really draining out my bank account, still, despite having cleared the installments sometime ago. Maintenance don't come cheap, & let's not even talk about performance upgrade. So if you drive a Honda with a VTEC powerplant (lucky you, no need to do engine transplant), & have got like at least 10K to burn, i'll show you how to make it run faster. Or if you're a serious VTEC enthusiast, offer me 25K cash & maybe i'll part with my ride. Car's like mine, of it's age & level of modification has got no resale value, to the general masses. So it'll take a serious enthusiast to fully appreciate the upgrades that have been carried out & certain degree of driving proficiency to fully exploit & enjoy the performance potential of the car. Anyone can drive a fast car, but not many knows how to drive a car fast.
