That 'chip' is nothing more than a case of garbage in...garbage out.

Every so often, I find a youngster at my track who uses one to absolutely no advantage.

Hey - it was a badass car when it came out (not in a big power domestic way, but a genuinely light and fun to drive piece). I've never forgot the first time I saw it. I really thought it was a Lotus. All shiny, black, and new!

That's awesome!

Off topic, I have a cousin in Nigeria trying to get $300 million out of the country. Can I have your bank account number so you can help him out?
