Default There's this guy...

That I run into on the street every once in a while with a White Silverado. On our first meeting he tried to pull me from a light which of course was completely fruitless for him.
He asked me what I had and told me he was going to buy a MAF, TB Spacer, CAI, Cat-Back and "chip" it......I smiled and peeled away.

Well yesterday there he is, he comes up from behind and pulls along side. He tells me he got the MAF, CAI and TB spacer and "man it really woke the engine up".....I asked him about tuning and he said he was ordering a JET programmer..omg.

The light greened and he went left before I could say much more than to tell him he had other "options" I felt really bad for him, there's no way without the resources we have here that he's going to figure it out. All the speed shops push those crappy parts.

When traffic cleared I flipped a beach and went to hunt him down and have a chat but he was long gone. I felt bad all night, I know it's not my job to save the world but if I can save just one human being then my life is not all for nothing. I hope I see him again soon, I will pull him over and give him all the advice I can. Gob bless.
