    I do!

    Only as a "last resort" if the main and control fuel pressures are correct, fuel injectors are known to be good and if the oxygen sensor is not switching requiring diaconnection so not giving the lambda computer the correct info to give frequency valve dwell feedback, and only if I don't have an exhaust gas analyser on de-cat cars.....

    Temporary measure though until the irelevant tems are fixed.

    300 hp rotary engine lol

    I had a guy pull up to me at the grocery store one night. He was probably around 40. Talked about how he bought the Ferrari 308 model same as the one from Magnum PI (I doubt it after his next comment) "love the delorean man. That thing is bad ass with the all stainless steel construction and a 300 hp rotary engine. Those are hard to drive!" Ha! Anyone with this level of incorrect information delivered with such conviction does not have a Ferrari. Nor does he know anything about cars. I didn't correct him because he was so excited. I just said. "Yeah man thanks it's bad ass".

    I don't believe there was any one year 308 used on the Magnum P.I. Series. I think they used multiple years.

    I was at the Princeton University Reunion weekend event the other day. My car was in the parade. Afterwards there was an area set up so people can get photos with the car. A man in his late 70s decided to sit on the hood/fascia while talking with his friend.

    Me: Sir if you're tired there are seats just over there. Please don't sit on the car. Thank you.
    Him (talking to his friend): My company financed the Delorean Motor Company and he won't let me sit on the car
    Me: Sir I don't care what your company did. That has nothing to do with me. Get off the car. Now.

    Entitled people really F..ing annoy me.

    How often do you get comments starting with this: "If you don't mind me asking...?"

    Isn't that just code for "I'm about to ask you something personal/obnoxious/none of my business, so hopefully you'll be less offended if I warn you first?"

    If you don't mind me asking...

    what did you pay for that?
    what's it worth?
    what did it set you back?

    Usually money related. No one seems to ever start with that and then it just ends up being a harmless, normal, curious question.

    If you don't mind me asking...

    what kind of oil do you use?
    what air pressure is in the tires?
    how many of these did they ever make?

    Sort of like when someone says they were just trying to be honest (but ended up being more brutal than honest) or "don't take this the wrong way, but..."

    ...or, "I just have a quick question for you" and it's never quick and I'm VERY guilty of that one myself, lol.
