So I turned my car off because I didn't want to leave it running if that was a bad.

Hi, car question! Since sharky's not around--

I just jumped my car and started it for the first time in several months. When I did, some smoke? exhaust fumes? started coming out and I dunno if that's normal or bad or what. It was coming from the engine, I think. Right next to where it says "check oil".

I dunno man. It's a fantastic machine, but I think I'd get a ZR-1. It would kill me, but only because I did it to myself.

Unlike a GTR which would make me the track hero, but only because it did everything itself.

I was watching an episode of D Motor some years ago. My memory is fuzzy and it was in German but I think they had a Z06, a Gallardo, and a GTR. The guy said basically his favorite was the Z06, and this was why. The GTR you drove with your mind, the Gallardo you drove with your heart, and the Z06 you had to drive with your balls.

Totally different theories on making a track car.

Right now I'm debating the best way to bleed the S-AWC system of air once I button this beast back up. "Super-All Wheel Control" with active yaw management and torque vectoring and active damping and every system works in tandem and communicates each other, and holy trout.

A lot of the maintenance for this vehicle from the factory says you should flush the drive train fluids every 30k. Owners who use their car on a regular basis or for performance driving say to take figures like that and cut them in HALF. There's a shop in the U.K. that says to come in for a complete drive train fluid flush (so that's engine, transmission, front transfer case, and both types of oil in the rear transfer case) every six months.

It's an affordable vehicle when you purchase it, but it's basically a budget Nissan GTR with all the finicky maintenance requirements that entails. It's a serious performance machine.

Oh yeah, they're really neat cars. They're heavier than the same gen WRX STi, and they make less power, but they can still get around the average track faster due to all the techno wizadry they have. The problems pop up with working on and maintaining that level of sophistication in a car that really wasn't all that expensive for what you were getting. Owners don't expect it, but they're freaking complex.

I'm glad :c) We've all been there at one time or another, so we are here to help!

I can take pretty pictures of space?

I mean YES LET'S DO THIS. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING?

My coworkers didn't understand how excited I was and when I said I will go to mars sometime in my lifetime and that'll be awesome they just went "yeah not me. Not leaving earth" I'm just like WHYYYY space is so coooooool

plebeians.

I am constantly baffled and also not surprised by the idiocy I deal with everyday here in oklahoma. It's like "are you really that smurfing dumb?" then i'm like "oh yeah, oklahoma"
