Up here at Minot - there is lots and lots of rice. Whew, it's pretty bad. I was up getting some oil at the local store and I see the SRT4 guy and his friend. They were buying windshield wiper lights and a "carbon fiber" shift knob thing (later on he returned it because he couldn't get it on).
Anyways, the guy in the SRT4 is normally talking crap - then the Civic guy asks what car I own. I tell him it's an old Buick Regal, 87. He asks me if I want to race him - I tell him i'll race him for money, but he says he has none. I wouldn't be suprised. Anyways, he asks what I have done to my car which I reply with the normal, "some minor mods to the 3.8 v6". The guy with the SRT4 says I have more than that.
Well, I tell him that I have a small turbo on it, nothing special (being sarcastic). He doesn't understand... he was seriously confused about what I meant. "Small turbo, what the hell are you talking about?" - "Are you stupid? They don't make turbos for 6 cyls, only v4's" - "They make them for imports, 6 and 8cyls use superchargers". I looked at this guy in dismay... wondering, how.. just... how or why he would come up with this ridiculous information. This just boggles me. Not keeping my cool, unfortuneately I then tell him how big of an idiot he is - in front of a few people working at the store. I talked a lot of **** about if he knew what a ricer was - he was a ricer - he didn't know anything about cars - blah blah. I pretty much shut him down...
Long story short - I guess todays youth is coming out to think that turbochargers are only made for "v4's" and superchargers are made for the "big american muscle cars".
Sad up here, really.
