I tried the turbo + FWD combination a couple of times -- won't go back. Unless you're only interested from a 70+ roll, real power in a FWD just pisses you off.

I'm probably a lifetime AWD convert now. Going WOT whenever you feel like it has its advantages.

You have some sort of issues with Boise State, "IDAHO"LT1?
Nah it was sarcasm. That was basically the way the nation looked at this school just a few years ago. And since they won the Fiesta bowl there are alot of people jumping on the band wagon. Born and raised here so Ive always been a Bronco fan way back to when they were in I-AA. Construction here has been booming, one of the fastest growing citites in US, so if your bro decides to stay here after his schooling i douvbt he would have a hard time finding work.

I was born and bread here, and it sucks because everyone is from California or north that I meet these days. They are trying to buy up all our land. But my brother was there before yall one the fiesta bowl, and I must say a great win!!!! We hate OU here, so I rooted for the Bronc's for my brother and to spite OU! But man he loves it there, I am fixin to fly up there and visit him. My great grandparents live in Boise, I've been there a couple of times, I really like Idaho!
Alot of Californians are moving here. As far as politics i dont care about taxes cuz they will find a way to tax me for something. All i care about is the second ammendment and as you said property and land. There a but load of BLM property here and i would hate for it tp bcome private land. Idaho has almost everything a person can want (as far as outdoors). Great place and you can leave your door unlocked throughout the day too.

Before you race him, make sure that he atleast temporarily puts on the rice stickers. 30HP/sticker... cant go wrong with that. You might have a real race after that. or....

You could pull two spark plugs and try to race him with some dead cylinders too. or...

I think the weight thing sounds pretty good too. Fit as many of his friends in your car as you can.. to the max. Put one in the trunk too. GO HORSPOWUR! GO BUDWEISER! GO CAMARO! GO A MER I CAN!
