The old 5kCST, in bitter cold, would produce a sweet condensation
trail at full throttle.  My best friend, who often ended up behind me
on the way to school when we were in high school, said it was "most
impressive."  Being able to see a nice white vapor trail behind your
car makes it MUCH faster! :-)

You have NO idea how disappointed I was when the first winter hit
after I had bought my 200q20v...next to nothing.  Baaaaah.
