If you can’t, well, nothing happens. I keep my opinions and you keep yours.
I think you're on with a lot of your comments, but the notion of turbos being for poseurs is absurd. For example, not a lot of poseurs in the Subaru market. The Evo crowd, I'm not so sure (and I'm just saying that because I don't know).
