Random thoughts for the day

What got me to post about this is...the other day someone posted how ecoboost performance has turned into S-S-I nation...I was quite surprised to hear that

WOW,those are some harsh words to say the least,honestly dont have time or interest in social media,facebook.
 
Dang... there's a lot of Tauruses in the Cleveland area!
I've been in Stongsville for the week on business and have seen at least 30 10-15 Tauruses, 4 SHOs. I don't think i have seen 4 SHOs in PA since i bought the car. :-(
Saw a Gem green SHO tonight in the Fridays parking lot, they went to the ribfest on the corner, we were already in the restaurant when they got out of the car.

There was even had a Ford commercial on TV that showed a Taurus!

In Pa I am lucky if i see one every two days on a 150 mile commute.
I guess i am in the wrong part of the country, they don't appreciate the Taurus as much, or just don't know about it. Can't tell you how many times I get "what is that, it looks nice".

I was probably one of the ones you saw. I was in strongsville near the mall a few times this week. Hope you enjoy your stay.
At least the sun came out for a little while this weekend.
 
Could be, although I haven't seen a red SHO.
Staying at the Holiday Inn by 71 and working at CCL on Foltz Prkwy through Tuesday.
At least 2 Tauruses in the parking lot every day.

+7 KR at WOT would have left a bacon strip in my shorts for sure.


Hah, yeah it was around 103° out with boost temps in the 120's. Defently an oh **** moment.

Another example of how well these engines can protect themselves.

Around 0 degrees and E-45 ish is another example, LOL....

Running on the edge....all in the name of science of course.

Are you still running corn with the meth?

No corn for me. It's a 2 hr drive to restock my jugs and I just can't find the time to make the trip right now.

Hard to justify considering how quick I burn through it.

I am able to pull -6kr under heavy load before meth injection comes on so I'd say my fuel is potent enough for now. I thank ar9200 for my knock resistance.

Weird....my 13 only had a negative range of 5, and the 15 is -4

Mine goes all the way to -8 to +8.

Well WTH?

I wonder what the difference is?

Anybody else see that range on the KR gauge?

Could it be the formula I've used for my knock gauge?

Here is when I had -5kr
