Flogged it around a track for the first time in its life and it survived.

Congratulated it with a 100 octane tank. Not sure I'd notice if I wasn't so familiar with how the car drives, but I did notice subtle differences in how revved and responded. Definitely not worth the price though :shock:

Thankfully the pump was horribly horribly off on what it actually charged me, but $8.85/gallon is pretty steep!

Looks like you were filling up the boat instead!

No, I did it the old fashioned hard way...Brass tooth brush.
Thanks for reminding me, I do have a Shark steam cleaner that's boxed up somewhere :lol:

Hey Bill, that is some awesome cleaning. I thought my eye caught something - why is this bolt backed out of the CV joint?
