Miss Snarly is hungry.
I finally taught her to use her "nice growl" when she's stomping around having a fit about something, instead of her blood curling snarls and dramatics. She's got SharPei genes and probably shepherd, she likes guarding and rounding up everyone into a pack.
Feral puppy so that's her first language...now she's Mama's little enforcer.

Picture this: You buy a Ecoboost Mustang , you get a sweet 84 month, zero down loan at a reasonable 13% interest. “Not too bad” you tell yourself. You feel like the coolest guy on the road, “300HP is enough, no need for more cylinders... modern Turbo4s are where it’s at” you mutter under your breath, trying to convince yourself that you didn’t make a terrible choice.

It’s night time and some white sedan is trailing you, you can’t really tell what it is... but you know it’s over 20 years old and the driver is probably a peasant who only paid $3000 cash for the car... used of course. He’s starts lining up next to you, you still can’t tell what it is. You hear a downshift from the car as it holds steady next to you. “This is the time” you say. “Time to do Mustang things.”

Traction control: off

A/C: off

Sport mode: ON

You can feel it already... that untamed 2.3L ECOBEAST is ready unleash all 4 cylinders of fury onto the pavement.

Got caught in a 15 min mini blizzard . The wind chill was wicked. It was the absolute worst time to have decided to go for a walk. Like 1030 am. Now it’s almost 3 pm and the sun is shining. The mini blizzard is like this short span of wicked wind that comes blowing through with snow and then just disappears. It is kinda exhilarating but also kinda exhausting. The mountains look pretty with snow but I am looking forward to seeing some green in the trees and ground.

That thing still ran like 17 second quarter mile times. They were great for highway high speed running but sucked zero to sixty where most stoplight races are won.

Time to put a bigger turbo and exhaust on that puppy. Don't want to be getting beat up by a backwards hat wearing kid in a Honda. Perhaps a small nitrous kit to add boost and cool the turbo might be in order as well. My favorite speed shop when I was first starting to wrench on cars had a sign over the parts counter I still remember. "Speed costs.... how fast you wanna go?" It's as true today as it was back in the 80s.

I hate when people have to show off how fast they go by how loud they are. Fine em. I don’t want to hear that shit.
