  • Factory tuning is done the way it is for fuel compatibility, engine and component longevity, and a wide range of consistent performance at any reasonable altitude.

    Changing the timing of the ignition, altered valve timing, and changing to a higher octane fuel can give you more power and better crusing economy at the cost of longevity, not being able to use a lower octane fuel, and possible issues if you drive at an altitude far different than the one it was tuned at.

    Somewhat relevant to your second point, I don’t like it when they speak English and it doesn’t make sense.

    Breaking Bad bothered me so much with how often the native Spanish speakers were talking in English, while in Mexico, with other native Spanish speakers. It isn’t like they didn’t allow Spanish in the show, there was a fair amount, they just arbitrarily decided that the scenes where it made the most sense to speak Spanish that English was the right language.




  • Monthly briskets, brewing alcohols, fine overcomplicated precision woodworking with exotic wood inlays because “bubinga” is fun to say, road trips for natural features and new taco joints, painting, restore/modicfy cars, and a concerning amount of day-drinking because that is the only way I can get through the day knowing what the world has come to when I can’t distract myself with any of the other things.
