“Don’t do meth, kids,” I tell the assembled fifth graders during their DARE presentation. Behind me, a huge projector screen clicks between exploitative pictures of shattered piston crowns.

“A lot of your friends will tell you that running more meth is awesome, you can lean out the mix, maybe run a little more boost? What’s the harm, right?” I turn to one of the kids in the first row, a fat cherub that wouldn’t be out of place in a Goonies remake. “You, son, what do your friends say about water-meth injection?”

He’s caught out of place, weak, vulnerable, afraid of group isolation. Good , I think. I can finally start teaching someone here something . He rises to his feet and stammers out an explanation about how the popular kids say that water-meth will make your quench pads cool at parties.

The kid continues standing for longer than is wholly necessary. He wobbles from side to side, his showman instincts distinctly repressed in this crucible of hate. I know that he is reaching out for authoritative social approval, a sure thing that would never come.

“Very good,” I say, clicking to the next slide, a lurid borescope shot of an exploded Darton sleeve in a B18C1. One of the overseeing teachers in the back row faints.

“Does this look cool to you?”

Running more boost sounds fun though.

That’s why i only do corn now. Freebasing e85 is so much smoother than water meth injection.

I want to run meth but I don’t plan on tuning to it. I just want it to cool off my heatsoaked intake temps. With my luck and memory I will always forget to refill.

Burning corn in a car might impact the availability and price of tacos, which I need to build a car.

Seriously, though, 5th graders do meth? I thought they did math instead.

the solution is always add port injection and more corn juice.

We used to run meth on our racing postie bikes...it gave you speed. Though the results were merely relativistic...

It’s good to have you back (even if it’s just an older post being re-shared)
