Hi i'm Chandy. I was wondering if they way I drive can hurt my car. Because my car has a 7afe I'm trying to be very economical. So I shift really early. What happens to my car if I drive it in the low rpms? I'm a little worried about the water that comes out the muffler because it is below freezing here in mass.

you ever touch your exhaust after even a short drive? it gest real hot real fast. I wouldnt worry about the water freezing, it would melt again in like less than a minute.
Being a mass-hole myself I know the weather here blows! --------------------  The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? |
