    I think my tuner likes the extra safety of the higher octane, I'm also adding another 2 pounds of boost which may need it to?
    I wish we had E85 here. I'd plan the engine build completely different if we did.

    How come I struggle to remember what my own phone number is but I still know Scruff McGruffs full address and postal code without hesitation.

    welcome to my world

    I memorized my wife's driver license # 30 years ago and can still rhyme it off today like nothing

    but ask me what her cell phone # is and I haven't got a clue

    I think my brain must be full

    Ya my hard drive is definitely full. Concerned every time I learn something new at work I'm going to forget where I live or how to walk as a result. Kinda my fault, there's a whole bunch of Porsche trivia and knowledge I'll likely never use but refuse to let go of.

    my wife thought my memorizing her driver's license # was sort of useless too

    then about 10+ years ago some bastard stole her wallet with all her ID and cards in it

    we walked into TD and explained the situation trying to get her a new bank card asap so she had at least some access to cash

    denied....said you need I.D.

    I said - "you got her driver's license # on that screen?"

    she said yes

    I said - H************22

    the lady was kinda stunned....cleared her throat and said she'd be right back with a new card

    and we had the # written down and kept it in the car until she got her license returned (thief took the cash only and threw the wallet into a mail box) just in case she got pulled over

    always felt it was good to have the DL# memorized.....like if you're stuck at the border and someone swiped your wallet and they won't let you back into the country

    Half of the DL number is your birth date so it shouldn't be that hard to remember.

    Our memories are going because we've delegated that function of our brain to our smartphones so it's being used less and space between the synapses won't be as well greased as time goes by. Fun stuff....

    I don't remember it that way

    I think I repeated the # enough times in my head that it kinda comes off like musical notes or something

    fwiw....I had a pretty nice 10-speed bike that I bought with paper route money in about 1978 or 1979...all on my own...was expensive for the time...like $350

    the serial # was RD134662

    bicycle thefts were big back then in my area and I wanted to be able to identify it if someone swiped it and did a repaint

    I sold the thing in like 1983....so not sure how the fuck I still remember the serial #

    I remember the plates my dad had on his 1984 GT Convertible he had when I was 5 "538 KAK" and I remember he changed the white top to black. I don't remember my license plates.
