Mental Horsepower

My 4 barrel 318 Demon has been my daily driver for the last 4 years and I put about 50 miles on it a day. She gets about 14 mpg on the street and 19-21mpg on the freeways. I put ten gallons of gas every five or six days and a quart of oil when she needs it. She never whines, never complains, never overheats, never leaves me stranded. Here in Houston it rains from about 2:30-3:00pm every day this time of year so I never really give her much thought as far as car washes, but since she's been good to me, I decided rain or no rain I was gonna clean her up.

I replaced the radiator hoses, cleaned up the engine compartment, replaced EVERY bulb on the car(except for the internal column gear select bulb). I even replace the ignition lamp bulb. Washed her up and gave it a coat of NuFinish.

Took her for a drive afterwards and the car just felt nicer. I had my 5 extra horsepower for the day. :lol: (mentally, that is)

Where did you get your last "5 horsepower" from?
