Wonder if they sell blinker fluid? Mine is getting low and I can't seem to find it. Also, my muffler is sounding a bit rough. Perhaps someone can tell me where to get new muffler bearings? Got directions on how to repack them?

The funny thing about snake oils is that sometimes the eye gets to see what the eye wants to see.

Or sometimes the eye HAS TO SEE what the heart wants it to see. "I spent $200 on this. My car has to be faster.". These are all reasons why people can sell snake oil. Too many suckers want a fast easy way to high power.

Why not upgrade to the Blinker Gel! I did a couple of years ago and I'll never go back to the old tech fluid.

Don't believe all these negative Nellies! This thing is great, I put two of them wired in series on my 93 and it will now smoke the tires through the first three gears and mileage has improved so much I have to siphon off excess gas every few days so the tank doesn't overflow!

Oh yeah? Well I bought the electric supercharger of eBay (set me back $50, but what the hell, it's only money). The car now turns a 10.5 second quarter mile @ 148 mph. But the best part is I can take it off the car on weekends and use it as a leaf blower.
