Yea, the cold start thing is something that takes alot
of patience. It sucks because the last think you want
to be doing when it's 0 outside is f'ing with your
laptop trying to nail it down.
I've had these little thoughts in the back of my head
about the 80q. Stuff like, I sure have alot of extra
parts that would make this car alot faster, hmm....
We'll see what kind of parts the yellow car coughs up
this summer.
