Turbos don't build enough rpm to create boost just being revved to a certain rpm like you would at a light, they only do it under load. The two step you hear creates and artificial load.

Ending up selling it and regrets doing so. They will always find a way to blame you for it in their mind, even if you weren't born for years afterwards. It allows them to externalize the pain. gently caress it, he's gonna enjoy living vicariously for a minute or two before he gets down again. Well worth it.

Man, I'm starting to feel all nostalgic watching those 80's car commercials. Especially the Cadillac one because I remember that jingle very well... and also because I'm now aware that this was made well over 20 years ago.

It had a system like that but it would never shut up "oil change need tire pressure low change brake pads spark plugs need to be rearranged change air filter seat cushion smells funny" It was like the Wall St. stock ticker except instead of displaying stocks it nagged you about automotive maintenance. And this was a perfectly well maintained car. They bought 2 perfectly good, running Jag's and used the one in the worst shape as a parts car.

Y'all have barely scratched the surface of bad '80s car commercials: 1985 Plymouth Duster. It's like Flashdance humped Duran Duran and this car was their hellspawn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZGwGFpjFxI Here's a ridiculous ad for whatever the Chrysler version of the Shadow was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUlwxN8aw-o There's another laughable Chrysler promo video from about '87 talking about the product lineup, the spokesman goes on and on about the "richly padded landau roof with accent lighting" on the New Yorker, like that makes it a goddamn Bentley. It's a K-car with a vinyl roof. Can't find this video anymore.
