Default Is it just me or...

Some days does it seem like your car will run like a raped ape...And other days will run *ehh* good.

I had a raped ape morning on my way home from work today.
I think that the temperature for my car to feel just perfect is around 60-65 degrees.

If you don't know what I am talking about then don't worry about it. I am sure that there are plenty of you out there that have this fun moment now and again though!

Just thought that I would share...

i know what you are talking about. nothing like 60-65* morning. the cool crisp air and hearing 6500 rpm getting on the on ramp at 6:30 that you know everyone can hear within a mile with the cutout open. that makes me think i am going to have a good day when i hear that. it just makes me feel good. what else can i say? oh yea i am smiling right now BTW just thinking about tomorrow.

The only problem being traction in the mournings but at night time it runs reallly good too but my guess is the temp helps MAYBE 10 hp so thats just a bolt on
