Not 100% sure of your question. Recently add Oil I am assuming. How many miles since the last oil change, or the last time you needed to add oil? What year and how many miles.

Hi Garrett -

No - going to long tube headers does not have a direct impact on the oil-change interval requirement of your engine.

best regards-

These young whipper snappers and their abbreviated text-messaging while in class. I remember the good old days of simply passing a message that you wrote and hope the teacher did not catch you.

I remember those days right before we started getting cell phones. That was like middle school, passing notes to girls in glass. then we started getting cell phones. The first ones sucked though. Text messages wasn't really a big thing but since all the nice smart phones started coming out. You can kiss paper notes goodbye. I abbreviate everything but when I post on here, you guys hate that You guys need to learn it asap b4 u get lft bhind. lol

Hi Garrett -

No problem here!

I have several friends who are much younger and live by the text - including my 22 year old son.

best regards -

As you can see I live in Florida, and it is now hurricane season. Well I am in upper management for local government agency ao we just had a meeting on hurricane recovery and damage assessment. We discussed how we would communicate after the storm if our main two way radio system went down, and it was stated that even if a lot of the cell towers are down texting does not take a lot of bandwidth. We all looked around the room and want to see who was up to texting. Needless to say, we are looking into alternative ways to communicate.

It is hell to get old.

Hi TR6speed -

Well - it is a two way street - in many ways I am really enjoying getting older.

For one thing, as I age, I really appreciate the amount of fine looking women that walk this earth, and the older I get, the more of them fall into the fine category for me lol.......

I am getting older, but I can two-thumb an nV with the best of them lol...

best regards -
