Smokey was alright, but he didn't swear enough for my tastes.

I am a self-pwning device.

I apparently own an 88 ZC trans, and never thought about it.

best to date is 53mpg , worst is 39.. I avg about 46mpg , running heavy *** audi TT wheels..

otherwise stock.
Too bad that fuel mileage advantage is ofset by the fact that the car has a shitty injection pump that costs $1000+ and likes to eat glow plugs. Not a fan of the TDIs thanks.

The way the stories go, Smokey would walk into GM whenever he damn well pleased and start chewing the asses of the engineering team.
