Man monkey needs to stop trying to give me advice about upgrades! If I want to be cheap and mod my car with parts off of eBay and auto zone that's my problem! Who cares if I end up paying double the money in the long run, at least it's cheap now!

^^^you know your right, get the cheap s**t and save money on your parts. Then you could go to the local shops and have them charge you $50 for a BOV install and you got it from eBay for $30. Oh and don't forget, getting your car tuned is optional, when you have hi-performance parts your car can hadle anything!

There is no such a law that states E85 is considered "race" gas and therefore illegal. Content analyzing means nothing and it surely doesn't indicate "intent" in the slightest way. E85 is biologically and chemically a safer fuel to use in any engine (turbocharged or not) due to its octane rating. Why do you see so many SUVs and hybrids with the "Bio Fuel" badge around? I'm sure that these particular vehicles aren't racing in the slightest bit. Getting pulled over (for let's say) a registration issue does't give any police officer justification of searching for anything else. And even if the KPD wanted to go into further debt by buying a large quantity of fuel content analyzers, they cannot issue a citation to match the suspected offense.

Saw a Maroon 1GB heading towards front gate today, A silver VIII on tank destroyer, and a Red IX in the inprocess building parking lot today. The IX looked GREAT! Anyone care to claim these vehicles if not I will cause I want all THREE!! LOL!

Yeah E85 is legal, and perfectly fine. Basically they are hunting for those running 110 octane fuel. But you can smell that stuff, so I dont see why they have to go in and inspect the car while taking fuel samples. Maybe my friend just ran into some cops that wanted to be ******. Either way, the cops have nothing better to do then to harass people.

Yeah I feel you man. But they have it at stations here in texas. You have to get it from race tracks and places like that. I am not exactly sure how to get it. But I am told KPD is looking for those using it. Im on 93 so I'm not worried about it lol.

I know for 100% certainty that you can buy it at Little River. I'm not 100% sure if you can buy it from the smaller airport located on Business 190. I was assigned to Fort Hood for 10-years so I'm familiar with the place not to mention that I'm originally from College Station.

[quote=RedNBlackEvo8;8531511]Yeah I went to that one and it was pretty good. Thanks for the reply.
P.s.- saw a white 8 while I was driving around base today, it's gonna be nice seeing evos all over the place again.[/quote
Was it on Battalion and Clear Creek? If it was, It was I. I remember the black lip and no wing.

Didn't you know that tunes are optional? I don't think everyone should text him at the same time, we should wait 17 seconds in-between. He might not know what to do if he were to do something any faster than that.
