Quoted for pure seks :wub:

I would never make it out of the garage if that was mine, I'd constantly have to turn around for a fresh pair of underwear after making love stains.

well then. i guess i know what to do now.

firing order is 1-5, left to right, correct?

I would imagine if the firing order was wrong and the car actually ran it would definitely set off an O2 code. I would imagine raw fuel would be getting dumped into the exhaust, which O2 sensors tend to pick up on.

In Topic: 2011-2012 Winter Mode/snow Thread

I still need to get my car ready for "winter". Only had one snowfall so far (maybe 1-1.5''), I made it to work and a few quick errands but it's a little scary to say the least on bald ass summer tires.

Only saving grace so far has been the temps, forcast is calling for mid 60's by wednesday....wtf

Been cruising CL for a good pair of snows for when it finally decides to settle in.

However, they are pretty much the same as every other car ever built with a few Volvo only quirks.

Yep. This.

Yeah, that ;)

Learned 55% of what I know about cars from my dad, but he was always afraid to tackle the in depth bigger jobs. I would just say F that and tear it apart, sometimes it doesn't work but thats all part of learning. And even if you have to do a job 2 or 3 times, it's usually still cheaper than taking it somewhere and getting raped.

Only downside is my dad now acts like he knows nothing about cars and I have to do all of his and the rest of my families work. He does at least grab tools for me when I'm under a car. :lol:
