Just learned another interesting fact. NMSU has played NE twice before. They were shut out both times. This may be the third.

Nitrous, Jan! Nitrous!

Me and a neighbor went for a bike ride down by Ft Snelling this morning. Put almost 13 miles in 80 minutes on our legs. Good times.

It's okay, Steve. I don't even care about NMSU. Good memories of all the girls I had there, but that's about it. BTW, I gave my brother **** because OSU didn't even score a TD.

I hate to do this but I'm taking the car into the dealer today to have them read the codes and see if they can figure it out. After doing all the resets the car is still doing it. So it might be the tb or the maf. After it does it the cars a/f drops down to 10 while at idle

Well took the car into the dealer. On the way there I pushed the car to see if it would still do it. The car ran fine. The dealer did not find any codes and it ran good for them. My only thought is that after driving in the rain for 6 hours that I must of got some moisture into the maf and now its dried out. Oh the dealer did say that it might of happened because I let someone named Dave drive my car.

They are the EBC red stuff. Works great for me and they are pretty inexpensive! Plus with chrome wheels even if your brakes dust a little it still looks like **** so i am always cleaning them but these had a noticable difference from the stock pads!

I hate not being able to reproduce a problem when I go to the dealer.

So the car's running fine now?

For the hell of it, run to your local Wal-Mart or auto parts store and pick up a can of Electronics Cleaner. The stuff I use is the brand CRC. Take out your MAF and give it a good cleaning.

My car is not going to be driven this winter (apparently) and next summer when its paid off, most likly going to be traded in.

My winter beater is an 08 G (my dads lol) He is never around so we are taking the G off the insurance and im going to drive the leased one with AWD (dont gotta buy snow tires)

Should save us a ton in the long run

Actually, you probably be better of just selling it now. You figure making payments on a car for the next 8 months that you are going to sell anyways is actually costing you quite a bit of money. Especially when you figure in depreciation and the fact that it is not being driven during this time. If you have another car to drive go ahead and get rid of it.
