If your friend is as intelligent as you, I'd say it could be any number of things, most of which could be cured through brain surgery or convulsive shock therapy. If he's you're intellectual lesser, he probably drank all the coolant thinking it was green Kool-Aid that tingled in his tummy.

Your post makes about as much sense as Mickey Rourke jumping out of a hotel window and landing in a hot dog cart full of ripe banana peels.

zc is what japan calls all d-series.

how much you wanna bet there will be a post saying that vtec isn't working because the guy didn't pull the oil plug.

sounds like he did a simple mini-me.
