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!
Coming to a stop is usually PLENTY of time to cool most any turbo. Just a neat way for companies to make a few extra dollars..

i went to blockbuster yesterday and some guy was outside smoking a cig......i rented my movie "Dave's Mom Sucks Good ****", and then got back outside and my car was still running nearing the end at like 15 seconds left....
the guy smoking was still there and said to me "its not good to leave the car running like that, someone could steal it" ... i took my keys out of my pocket and swirled them around my finger to say like "but i have the keys in my hand, not in the car"
the guy looked at me like it was a spaceship or something
but for girls - i dunno i have trouble with it usually....im just like - "it stays running for a few minutes to cool down the engine" .... "oh, cool"
