computer controlled turbo technology

[Lawrence C Leung]

Half the time I can't hear mine, other times I can. 





What?



Actually, I drove a friend's '85 Saab 900 Turbo one time. I thought I was
in control of a giant Dentist's drill. If it wasn't night, sleeting, and
his car actually had snows on it instead of balding RE-71's, I might have
had fun with it. Instead I had to play keep up with him in his parent's
car, which had real tires. That wasn't so fun.
