No turbo chargers are EVIL - they cause poor little four cylinders to go faster, which in turn increases the fun factor, which in turn means you might drive your car even more than if it had just a plain oe 4 banger.  The New Obama/Fiat Challenger will have electric motors with gerbils to recharge the batteries.  The gerbils will have special filters on their butts to eliminate any "emissions" that may contribute to "Global Climate Change."

Ya think they'll have some at Carlisle?  Anyone pick up a couple for me?  I might run a dual butt filter set up with an X pipe if all those emission laws go through...  :screwy:
