You are more than a tad arrogant. You are an invincible teenager!
I dunno, like I said I go on here just for fun.
I'm not really entirely literal in what I mean either, I just type as I think. I put my thought process for whatever minute or two I am typing into words. I like to see how other people interpret it, I like communicating through text much better than verbally, verbal communication is not one of my strong points.

Communication is an art form, if you prefer the written word to the oral word then please try to form better sentences. I understand its the internet, but its really aggravating trying to comprehend gibberish and then trying to comprehend the real meaning of what you are saying.

that's a fair request.
I bitch at other people for the same reason, I won't be a hypocrite.
One thing I do though, is that everytime I have a break in my thought I'll start a new line. Just FYI if that helps.

Of course he comes off as cocky, HE'S 16!!! I was a cocky SOB at 16 too. He's pumped up about driving, just like I was. He prolly drives like a complete maniac, just like I did. I hope he doesn't kill himeself or someone else, I miraculously didn't. When I was a teenager I drifted around every corner, did endless lawn jobs, ditched out cops and was basically just an adrenaline junkie behind the wheel. Driving came naturally to me too and I pushed every car I had to the limits. Now I drive like my parents. I miss the adrenaline rush I used to get but I'm a bit older and wiser. When things settle down for me I'm thinking about trying autox to try to recapture some of that fun in a safe setting. I'm worried about the cones though, I just don't think I'll be able to follow the course.

Thats good! I'm lucky I'm not dead. I never even wrecked. My mother says that I must have kept my guardian angel working overtime.

Good luck with that B16A swap. Post pics when you have it done.

All I need is the MAP sensor and I have my fingers crossed that it will fix it.
I'll try to get some pics tommorow, it's complete as far as pictures will tell.

They've been talking about their penises in threads for centuries?

I consider myself an excellent driver when I compare myself to the average shmuck on the road, but I have no professional driving experience at all.

And it depends on the car too.
