Everytime he has a shining moment it seems like something happens to him. Hopefully Steve letarte gets him on the right track this year. > [@I now hate my Bose headphones: distortion after 1 month](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-now-hate-my-bose-headphones-distortion-after-1-month/39686/37): > > NASCAR engines and the technology in the cars is amazing. to spin 9k rpm and maintain a 200mph speed for 500 miles, while turning. thats amazing. especially for a dumpy pushrod 358cu/in american made pile of scrap metal This.
