Default April's general chat/ post whore thread

So what's new with everyone?

I'm training for an in-house tournament coming up and I'm all jacked up (not on Mountain Dew) like a Spider Monkey!

We haven't had one of these in awhile.

I would imagine with as much crap that's in MD, it would kill you for as long as you haven't had one. lol

New for me. Picking up a F150 supercrew from my friend to become the new daily. That's about it.

I would be high as hell if I drank a MD these days. Hell, I had a drink of my daughters sweet tea the other day she had at Fuzzy's Tacos and that shit was so sweet I bet I had that bitter beer face the old guy had on that commercial! haha.

I bought a durian a few days ago on impulse. Left it at my boo thang's place. I'll probably just leave it on my coworker's desk as a gift.

Also ordered some 3000k HIDs for my foglights to up my ricer score.

I never actually smelled one of those things, but by the reactions I have seen I'm not sure that I would want to. It almost seems to have an instant gag reflex for most people. It's funny though!

HP Tuner is officially available for 5.0's. Any of you going to try it out?

I had some prereleases during development, wasn't actually using it on cars, but going through everything to see if anything should be added if it was missing. I gave Eric a list of a couple hundred auto trans things to add in, so automatic support should be very complete, including the ability to do the transbrake. The engine side, existing products probably had that covered well enough, but this is more complete.

Between this and the Hypertech flashers you're going to see more and more of, and that SCTs new product release seems to be little more than a refresh of the same old tired product type, things are certainly changing, I think for the better.

That is some great news for the auto guys.

What do you guys think of these wheels? Trying to decide which direction go with my V.

Some guy on YouTube called the LA Beast got through half of one. Also needed a machete to open the damn thing.

I don't like the wheels but somehow, they look good on that car.

I'm hoping that Kevin gets it and starts using it with his tuning. So far everything I've heard about it is very good, and SCT might be F'ed in terms of user interface and ECU tune writing times.

I like them. Kind of has the factory design vibe to it.

I'm not sure if the 5.0's will still need the programmer or not to upload the tunes. I don't know enough about it. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about that nonsense anymore since the V doesn't require a handheld. I never had any problems with mine, but then again I never had to mess with it since I never changed the tune after getting it tuned. All of the bricking and locking up nonsense sucks!
