okay, so a number of times at work people are like "dude, you left your car running." when a guy tells me, i just blow him off and respond with "yeah, its supposed to do that." and let him read between the lines that my car is that kwel.



however, when chicks ask, i have a tendency to want to say more, and brag about my car. i usually say "yeah, its supposed to, its gunna run for about X more minutes, then it will turn itself off."



they say "why does it do that", to which i want to say "its better for the turbo" but realizing they have no idea what a turbo is, i just say "its better for the engine to cool down."



what are your explainations for the amazing wonder of the turbo timer? people dont realize this is an aftermarket item and just assume my car is that cool, which works for me



anything else i can say to chicks that will double as a pickup line and a good explaination?

It's like explaining cable TV to a caveman. First you tell them it's a TV. Then you explain a TV. Then you have to explain everything else going all the way back to electricity. All the while you're explaining these concepts, you have to do so in a language they will understand. But don't dumb it down or they'll think you're a jerk.







So what does this mean? Next time somebody tells you that you left your car running just say "Thanks" and keep walking.

just say you meant to, to collect the insurance check.

Yeah there is no good way of going about that to pick up chicks.

All i can say is cars really dont lend much a hand in picking up girls in less i am using my FD wrong. I dont know i get a lot of questions from guys' but no girl has ever asked me any thing about the car. Maybe i'm just ugly.

Man I have tried countless times.... My opinion is DONT TRY hehe



If you keep it basic and say it cools the turbos, they will say whats

a turbo? Or what does it do? Why? Whats the difference? Why are

they hot? How hot are they? Does it really work?



THEN you are damned if you actually answer this question LOL



Best to say "the car turns its self off after 5 mins because I SET IT THAT

WAY!" hehe

if your car was really cool you would have one of those pimpy VATN aerochargers that don't need any turbo time, wait til you encounter a chick that says that.

Use "It's a bad idea to turn a VERY expensive car off right after driving really fast."



Or.. try "Same reasons your jugs are huge: It's just better that way."

this girl i know will not stop asking questions when i gave her a ride home across the damn street. The worst part is I know she doesent give a **** at all about the car, and actually hates cars and my car. (crazy, i know) so after trying to explain why **** works (because she always inquires) i just give up. The worst was the boost gauge. After I said "i use it to monitor the turbos, it tells me what they are doing) she said, "Oh thats dumb."



I couldnt take it lol, i dont hang out with her anymore!

yeah, at first i said to some chicks "yeah, its better for the car to leave it running, it lets the engine (actually turbos, they didn't hear this, they wouldn't understand) cool down" to which they replied "YOU LET IT RUN ALL DAY?!?". i laughed and said "no, it will turn off after (i look at my watch) 4 and 1/2 minutes or so" then they say "hey, i want a cool car that does that". i keep the fact that it's a $100 dollar item, their's could do it to, a secret.



although i did date a couple of chicks last semester at A&M that actually know what a turbo and a rotary engine was. the first one, asked what my boost gauge was for, and i said "its for the turbocharger, you know what that is right?" and she said "it makes your car go faster?" to which i said "yeah, close enough" LOL



this other chick i dated for a month, she was an ag education major, and took a small engines class and had to rebuild a small IC engine in her lab. anywho, we walked into my dorm room, and she sees the rotor on top of my TV, and says "hey, that's from a rotary engine." i flipped out! i go "can i marry you right now?" we then get in my car, drive, she asks about the boost gauge, i say its turbocharged, and she says "what's better, turbocharging or supercharging?" again, i thought that was the coolest thing in the world! she knew how to drive a standard and i let her drive my car, and she drove it the best anyone ever has, other than me.



too bad that relationship didn't work out. oh well, she later told me while driving "is it really necessary to accelerate that fast?!?" YES!

you have a water cooled turbo so you dont have to turbo time it!
