i remeber the day that i fell in love with the sound of turbochared engines. i was watching the movie Canonball Run as a kid and there is a japanese import car in the race. whenever it goes by all you hear is this whistle. not the sound of compression or exaust or noise, just this clean whistle sound. i didn't know for years what that sound was, just that i though it was a sound that is associated with thing going really fast down roads. an inovation in economy or an economical innovation, call it what you want. i still love that sound and will occationally rev my engine at stoplights just to hear that whistle, a whistle that can put you back in your seat.

i still dream the day i can afford a fully restored '69 MGB.. chrome all around. ice blue. and then drop in a rover V8 just for kicks. that won't be a whistle, it'll be me waving, and then a cloud of dust. whee!

not even sure where that one came from, or why someone was digging this deep in the archives...
