worst case scenario for me would be to lose my 1JZ and get an RB20DET, so hell-yeah.... pick straws!

Can't be bothered to fill this in right now, but the question about blood type, if you're going to translate it to English, change that to zodiac sign. The Japanese do horrorscopes based on your blood type rather than the particular configuration of stars that happened to be around when you were born.

[robots]

so many questions ))) u guys are keen on those, huh ?)))
