MBWorld Fanatic!
I might still be fuzzy from the Brazilian carnaval the night before, but I'm going to try to make it. Maybe park under that giant 4x4 they have parked on the lot. You know. For shade.

That's awesome. Agneepath is all-time classic. Can't get my wife to watch the old stuff, she only likes new movies.
I'm not gonna be able to bring my car to Coffee and Cars unfortunately some ******* ripped off the side mirrors yesterday in a Barnes and Noble parking lot (unless MB Surgarland can get it done by tomorrow--took it there since insurance footing the bill), .
Where do you go for servicing/repair? I took my ride to Car Teckniks off 249 for the last service but it's kind of a drive for me. Was thinking about Motorwerks Houston.

Hmm.
The GF and I definitely drive in the rain and don't mind getting a little wet to see some nice cars.
Shardul- you've got my cell # still right? Toss me a text if you're not gonna make it if you would.

If there are pics to be taken, I'll take them.
Random question for any of you Houstonians: I did some pulls with my OBD2 reader and laptop today [obdscan apex], and had some questions about IAT's and Coolant Temps.
Ambient is 81*: Did 3 pulls from 40 to 100, IAT's maxed out around 140*F and within 10 seconds had dropped to around 105* each time, which is where they stayed cruising. The only thing that took them below 105* for the entirety of my drive was sitting idling at a stoplight.
My coolant on the other hand...didn't drop below 180* even after sustained highway driving, and jumped to just above 200*F during the pulls. Is this normal operating temperature for coolant?
Apologies in advance for no excel files/graphs...it was my intent to post a fancy set of graphs of my pulls but the software I'm running with my scanner screwed the pooch...it asks me what I want to save my data files as after I stop logging, and for some reason can't write to the default folder [without giving me the option to save elsewhere...I assume it's a permissions problem].
Only changes from stock are a Jerry box tune, S55 Driver's tube, and if it matters, I took out the grille over the H/E because another one of my tabs broke off [taking me down to 3].
