Lack of knowledge
It really amazes me how some people who are extremely interested in cars, really don't know ---- about them. Last night i went into worcester to cruise the strip for a little bit and say hi to a couple friends. So i park so i could talk to some people for a bit, and these kids who i know of come over, and one of them is like "aw what kinda turbo is that yo", and i'm like it's a garrett T3 60 trim, and then the kid is like oh, greddy turbos are better, and i'm like, umm i believe greddy uses mitsubishi turbos in their kits....
then this other kid comes up to me and is like " is it stage 1 or stage 2", seriously who/what ever started this whole stage 1,2,3 bullshit, i'd like to kill in the face. Sure it's nice for factory performance kits like the mopar ones you can get for the SRT 4, but then everyone who thinks they know a thing or 2 about cars believes that turbos come in stages. It was at that point that i realized that 80 percent of the people in that parking lot (and on the whole street for that matter) grew up on the fast and the furious and think they're living the lifestyle by drooling over the cars that true enthusiasts create.
so i left before would start contemplating suicide. Just my little rant.

I just like when we were at a local lot hanging out, this one guy had a turbo probe and popped the hood.. one kid points at the intake manifold and keeps talking about how it is the intercooler and what it does :P (intake manifold said "intercooled" on it so that must make it the intercooler, right?)

Re: Lack of knowledge
yeah i got flamed on here by a bunch of HMTers when i gave that 'Stage 1,2,3' ---- the middle finger. i'm young but i'm ------- old school. i've been on HMT before Stealthmode even! anyways, it appears that nowadays you can buy stage 1, 2 or 3 wheel trims. because stupid ricers dont understand P trim, Q trim and S trim compressor wheels.
Seriously, i've only seen this Stage ---- in marketing after Gran Turismo and F&F. Saying all that Stage ---- is all rice talk to me.
