Easily Add Power with Tunit Tuning
Tunit provides an efficient and adaptable method of enhancing a vehicles performance (power and torque) without the need to alter the vehicles original equipment or programming. The advantages of the Tunit are; adjustment for optimum efficiency (both manually, by the customer and electronically, via a PC by a distributor), flexibility, as in movement from one vehicle to the next and ease of installation. The principle of Tunit is to provide all these advantages that previous methods of tuning such as EPROM replacement and "flashing" or OBD tuning could not.

"Hey, you forgot Needle D the Box F-er!"

I was really bummed out to hear that George died. Enjoyed everything I heard from him including the last HBO special I saw, 'It's bad for ya."

I'll miss the man who, through the movie DOGMA, introduced me to "Buddy Jesus".

If my manliness is determined by the size of my wallet, then I must be a 7 year old little girl.

I'd like to say a few words in his honor, but all of them are words you can't say on TV. Oh well, I guess I'll just keep the ten.. no, five... no, one commandment of Carlin and "just be cool." A very sad loss.

rusted subframe bolts are the hardest material known to man...

Funny, <a bit ragged around the edges>, guy. We will miss him.

"Joe bless you!"

(inside, Carlin joke. If you don't know it, go to youtube and watch "religion is b*llsh*t")

George was always irreverent, funny, and sometimes thought provoking.

Same here. He was coming to town and I wanted to go with my wife but for some reason she wasn't interested and I never pressed the issue.

Mr Bean's uncle was a machinist.

My favorite comedian by far. At least I got to see him live a couple years back. I was just getting over a cough and laughing didn't help. Thanks for almost killing me, you bastard! I'll miss ya!

Yep, Great comedian, I saw him live, he came to my college.. hilarious!

Cranium
Inner and outer sills, left and right door steps, left-right-front-rear floors, and inner wings welded in place. Moving to the boot area, then to the a-panels/front end. Should have the welding done in 3 more years! :)

Battery Box removed, and rear valence removed. Time to clean up the rust, and find the holes.

He was one foul mouthed Mother Fxxker on stage-

He will be missed-

The best one was when he was arrested on stage in Milwaukee during a show for past breaches of the law over his comments on stage-

We have lost another great comedian. I enjoyed listening to his humor since the mid 70's. All of his albums and HBO specials were great. Thanks for all the laughs George. He will be missed.

Now, what's he gonna do?

Let's all say a prayer on his behalf (to Joe Peschi)

Very funny guy. Most irreverent humor.

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot....

Very sad. He was a brilliant comedian in my opinion.
