is there a more intelligent question than 'is it turbo?"

I always get this, back when I was N/A, people would ask "is it turbo?" I'd tell them "no, but eventually, years down the road it'll be twin turbo" "Oh, okay"
and now that I am turbo, they ask "Is it turbo?" "yeah" "1jz?" "no" "oh..."
people are never satisfied...

not just asking is it turbo but, once in a while i have my clients meet up with me and they ask what kind of car am i driving.
"its a black supra"
when i do meet up they say,
"i thought it was the newer one."
"no but, it has the same motor"
"oh..."

I like big brother for the MA70. It is older and bigger. :biglaugh:
The #1 Question I get is , "What year is it"? Then followed up by, "I've always loved those cars"...
I just say thanks and me too!

The only question I get is, "When is it going to be out?" Sadly, I don't know the answer, or if I will keep it when it is out.

yeah i get those to from the actual car enthusiast, who actually appreciate the car for what it is.
I always liked when people would ask is it twin turbo, when it said it 2 places on the car.

A couple years ago, some young buck drove up next to me.....
"Hey man, is that the new (Probe) GT?" :squint:

I always get the people saying "It looks like the old Knight Rider car" Then they say "KITT I need you buddy" So I run them over. LOL!
Once I got(from my co-worker), "why did you put a turbo emblem on for?"
I said,"because it's a turbo,"
Then he said," oh, you put a turbo in it, so what's the 1/4 mile time now that it's a turbo?"
I said, "It's stock supra turbo."
he said," so what's your 1/4 mile time with the turbo installed?"
I said," it's the stock supra turbo,15secs."
He goes,"that's slow, my miata does 12's, it's fixed up to the max. I've never taken it to the track though, but that's what i'm guessing from the way it feels."
I asked,"what are your mods?"
He said,"it's lowered with headers, intake and exhaust."
I'll end it there.

There is a guy at our local auto zone....we call him stickers.
He has a Sentra with 3 different Suspension companies.
BTW, it seems to the general public that twins are automatically better than 1 turbo...Brilliance....I need to get me 3 turbos or 4 and then I'll be kickin ass.
