FI addiction
Talking FI in general I think I have a problem. I currently own 8 FI vechicles. Nothing extrodinary but something about boost drives me crazy. Anyone else on here have a similar problem?

I started this thread to hear about some of the other bad azz rides some of you guys have. Even though this is the C5 FI section lets talk about something else for a while.

I have a golf cart that I put 10k into. It has custom House of Color candy blue paint, custom 12" wheels, hi amp controller, stereo system, head and tail lights, and does 28mph.
My Toyota Tacoma has the TRD blower on it, but no one will race me because they think I'm joking.
