I paid more than that for the exhaust to gain about the same. Do it!
Do you have a lot of e85 stations around there?

GF made corn chowder last night. I have lunch for today. It was amazing. Although she wanted wine and took it upon herself to "buy a bottle".... She bought yellowtail. I was a little sad.

On a happier note, I'll be back in the green by the end of the year. Sets back my mod plans for the Z a little. Oh well, life always finds a way.

If you stick to a consistant 50/50 blend. It won't hurt a thing. If Subarus, corvettes, moostangs, and cobalts can run on it. Our N/A Z's def can without harming anything.

Or go ask some of the GT-R guys. Pretty sure some of them do.

I got to the coffee first this morning. THANK GOD!!

Nice roast of Guatemalan roasted beans with a pinch of sugar. Getting compliments out the arse on it not being bitter like every other day.
