If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Enjoying the colder temps on 91 octane because that's the best we get till the tanks get diluted enough to show the winter gas which here is better then the summer gas

Has anyone tried using a Magnet oil filter which is meant to collect finer metal particles,shavings within the oil filter. Z

Never had any need when a quality oil filter is in use.  The Purolator BOSS is quite a filter, and highly recommended for use.  There is a microGREEN filter I have yet to test out, developed in and supported by the State of NY btw :D  down to 2 microns!

Good to know with the average oil filter collecting down to 20 microns. Z

What most filter mfrs won't talk about is efficiency at those micron ratings.  There is nominal efficiency and there is absolute efficiency.  Rabbit hole though.

So started my new job this week... first time I have used a SHO for daily driving in well over 3 years...

The parking garage at my new place of work is FULL of Tesla's... all different versions...

And BMWs, AUDI, Ferrari's, and other high ends... the BMWs and Audi's are slums... a couple chargers (hell cats and Daytona)...

I low ride my ass in there with Ford...

Yup... maybe some exec will see the ford and get pissed that it's there and demand they give that poor ford driver a raise to get it out of the garage... or the just tow it cause they figured someone is parking there illegally..

I think a raise is far more likely.  Unless they have the prototype Tesla tow truck to forcibly evict you from your squatters quarters.

Yup.. apparently I missed the SRT Viper... was too busy looking at the other cars...

But regardless... still parked on the upper level so no one could inflict any door dings.

Dang sounds like a car show parking lot.  Well you'll surprise some fellow employees no doubt when y'all leave for the day if they feel like playing

No doubt, I'm fair game for a little play on the streets... not much... and rarely over the speed limit...

But apparently there is a large group of guys who go the track (autoX and 1/4 mile) so it could be a fun meetup.
