Holy crap!!! that is one of the most entertaining things i've read in years. just because you can afford an expensive piece of fast precision machinery doen't mean you should.Whoever coined the phrase livin' the dream forgot to mention whether it was a good dream or bad dream.

I saw that when it was posted last week...
but never got further than the first two posts... If you keep reading (or recognize the bottles in his avatar... which I didn't) you find out that what this guy supposedly added to his tank... were two bottles of an energy drink...
I have to admit, that I'm a bit hooked on the thread now and have made it to page 8... but I don't think I'll get through the entire book.... lol
The guys in that group came up with a pretty good poster for it though...
I'm HOPING this guy is just messing with everyone.... SURELY people aren't THAT stupid...

The further in the worse it gets. At one point it comes out that there actually is a NOS fuel enhancer that looks very much like the energy drink, it just has a different looking cap, and the guy actually comes out and re-iterates that it was indeed the energy drink he put in. I'm begining to think that either the guy is really "special" or he is pulling a prank for the attention.
He keeps saying "well it was running like crap when I pulled into the station, so I doubt the energy drink had anything to do with it not starting now" over and over. He is either truely dense or is milking it for everything he can get. There are folks from forums all over the internet joining gixxer.com just to let everyone know that everyone on their site is laughing at the guy.Cy
