…Granny shiftin’ not double clutchin’ like you should. You’re lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn’t blow the welds on the intake! Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block, and replace the piston rings you fried.

I have a S10 and I use Bixby routines to turn the ‘Protect battery’ feature on over night, which limits the battery charge to 85%. I have it set to turn off about an hour before I wake up so that it’s fully charged in the morning.
