How is that racist? Are you unaware that California at one time belonged to Mexico? You do realize that California has an extremely high Hispanic population correct?

Besides, It is my professional opinion as a Mexican, that that statement was not racist.

3:55's gears huh ? Maybe a gear change is in order if you plan on keeping it.

Eh, maybe. Really though, a gear change will gain me very little in the way of MPG.

I DGAF, I don't drive this thing for mileage.

Well, I wish I was getting 10mpg. I'm currently getting 8.2 and am not sure why. Yeah, I know it's winter and all, but I've barely had to use 4wd. Plugs and wires were replaced in the summer. 02 sensors the summer before. Still not sure what's up with it...

Actually, yeah man, I am. I noticed it a little while back, having to top it up between changes which is a relatively new thing. Same with a feeling like it is starting to lack power.
