How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

What? 
I took a reading of the PID throttle % when it was acting up. 10.6% at idle running rich.
The issue magically went away, still 10.6% throttle. I have a ODB code for 'throttle / pedal position sensor high voltage' -- I had extra money so I grabbed a airtex/wells TPS off of rock auto. Wouldn't hurt to try, fingers crossed
I'll go with Imperial-class star destroyer

Anyway...
I'd like to take this opportunity to appeal to all male members of MT.net to grow a moustache. No reason in particular, I just find myself being disturbed by the growing trend of moustachelessness in this country.
Today is Saturday April 22, 2017. There's no better time to start.

^^ THIS ..............................and THAT^^
I haven't shaved my upper lip since I graduated from high school (twas a non-negotiable requirement to continue residency in the parental home).
Basically always felt shaving my lip was an unnatural act.

I just shaved mine off, with the beard. Since mine has gone grey, I look much older with the beard. I'll regrow the beard/stash when I get fed up with shaving, which just happens to be about the time it starts getting colder.

When you cant decide which hotrod to take.....#firstworldproblems. #1 impractical, #2 wwd and slightly more practical or #3 practical.
No worries with facial hair. I have some but it doesnt grow thick enough to do anything with. Wasnt blessed with that gene. Wife says I havent hit puberty yet.

So today I started taking the turbo off. Been running it on an open wastegate for the winter and today i decided to mess with it.. yeah the turbo barely spins. Not sure how since all the oil/coolant lines are fully in tact but something seized up. Will be putting everything for sale in the upcoming weeks.
Current progress, oil/coolant lines are all removed. The intake side including the intercooler is removed and back to stock. Getting a ride to work tomorrow/tuesday and then at it again wednesday to pull the turbo/manifold/downpipe.
It was a fun ride but the thought of a corvette sounds funner.

They are not a good track car, and will probably lose stoplight drag races to most modern performance cars.
And yes, they are stupid expensive. A decade ago they were $20K, but now they're a lot more than that.

Two cars meet in parallel at a cloverleaf highway on/off ramp. One is getting on and one is getting off. Who has the right of way?
This morning, I was the car getting on the highway. The car that came up parallel to me was signaling that they were getting off the highway. I honked vigorously at them when instead of slowing down to exit behind me, they accelerated with me to the end of the ramp, then cut over and slammed on the brakes to get off at the last second.
Was I justified?
