Could have been 128 HP version if they've kept the hood closed so those 5 didn't escape.

That helps explain why cars seem to lose HP over time, every time you open the hood, a few get out.

Just like horns. My friend Bill taught me not to toot at other drivers because your horn only comes with so many honks built in. You don't want to waste them on non-emergencies. Bill was full of good wisdom.
