Default did it again

Ever since finding out that the Burn's engine is getting worn out, my wife has been driving it even harder. Last night she drove it home in Low 2 for about six miles. It was screaming between 5000- 6000 RPMs the whole time. When she got home, she had to take a look at the poor whipped motor since it was hissing and smelled hot. She flexed her muscle right in front of it as she laughed her butt off at it.
Not sure the motor can keep up with her much longer. It is now burning about a quart of oil every 1000 miles due to her increased abuse.

I guess it's her way of letting off steam? As long as she doesn't **** someone off and start a road rage incident ...

She obviously has some issues.

Better put a scatter shield on it so when the tranny explodes at redline in Low gear, it doesn't amputate her legs.

She does get a little pricey, and in many ways! She's a diva and a half!!!

Default few more pics

here's a couple more pics of my wife after mercilessly beating engines. both are blown

these were two separate Honda cars. and I tell you guys, I have never seen an engine get whipped this hard for as long as she whipped them and keep running for as long as they did.
