social media tuner

A person who compares themselves to Competition motorsport engine & electronic calibrator. Typically known for social media popularity, disabling important engine fail safe parameters such as detonation (knock) sensors.

These individuals lack the mechanical and electrical experience of working on said competition vehicles. They do not own level C (or better) technician tool boxes, completely incapable of tearing an engine down & putting it back together to even the simplest OEM specifications.

Typically these “tuners” carry themselves with a high pride in their “flame maps” and “gapping” the competition. When they in fact cannot even gap piston rings properly.

If you need a knock sensor to tune a car you are just a social media tuner.

Valley of the Tunes

Jack London, the famed adventure writer from the early 1900's, called the Sonoma Valley in California, his home towards the end of his life. He referred to the valley as the "Valley of the Moon". The clever twist on that phrase, Valley of the Tunes, refers to the vibrant live music scene here.

There is a ton of music this weekend here in the Valley of the Tunes!

Valley of the Tunes

The Sonoma Valley, in northern California, is sometimes called the Valley of the Moon. This is derived from its slightly crescent shape. Because the valley is home to a very lively music scene, the area is also cleverly called the Valley of the Tunes.

Dude, I'll be in Sonoma; we have a gig in the Valley of the Tunes this Saturday.
