A few weeks ago, i went to the do-it-yourself carwash nearby with a good friend of mine, started washing my dodge and at the cabine next to us there were 2 guys washing there "tuned" VW polo 3liter.(tuned means big rims, big spoilers and big exhaust)
for those who do'nt know these cars : its a very small VW, not with a 3liter engine but the reason for the name 3liter is because it has a fuel economy of only 3liters/100 km...
the guys were looking at my Dodge and they asked what engine was inside, i replide it had a 6liter V8.
they're answer : ooo whauw so that fuel economy is'nt that bad at all ...
then they asked if the car was fast, my buddy told them(assuming they knew nothing about cars) sure! it has a 16valve engine...
they're reply : really ? i did'nt know they had that kind of technology in those days ...
