Damn thats a lot. Time for a 5-speed Civic or some other beater DD. Will pay for itself if you continue driving that much.

Congratulations! You win! J/K, dang, mine has crept up to ~$525/month and I am not looking forward to seeing it jump over $600. Who woulda thunk the gas bill would be higher than the payment?

A few years back I got a letter from the insurance co stating in MD they can no longer use credit score in the rate calculation. Then my rates went up a bunch. The next year they came back down.

I guess $2,200.00 for 3 cars and the truck, all with full coverage isn’t that bad. Then again I pay another $500 for the bikes. I got screwed until I was over 30 and marriage didn’t help one bit. The drag racing ticket I got when I was 21 bit me in the A$$ when the insurance company found out 2 months before the points rolled off.

Neilowinz, how do you like your jet maf? I put one in my gxp and didnt really feel a difference actually i felt like it was a little sluggish in the 2000-4000 area so i put the stock one back in. i compared the sensors and the only difference is the honeycomb is removed and the airfoil is cut short anyway i would like to hear your thoughts

I think its probably overrated. The heatsoak reduction kit might be a cheaper alternative.

Yea. They can't automatically void your warranty for having certain things on. They can only deny a claim if they find(claim) that the warranty work you're in for was caused by an aftermarket part. As far as exhaust goes though you'll be fine putting on the MF catback there's nothing they could really blame the exhaust on.
