Awesome! Cars get turbos.
Check this out yall. Cars are getting this new thing called a "turbo". It is suppose to be awesome. I expect this new idea will really turn the automotive world on it's roof.

Apparently that gem was in there but I can't find it anymore. Maybe they edited it out. Be certain to read the comments. You don't want to lose out on entertainment potential.
Happy Tuesday. Carry on

Production cars, especially those with diesel engines now commonly feature turbos. The Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4, the world's first hybrid diesel car, is fitted with a turbo to increase its power and efficiency.
"While a standard engine is powered by a belt connected to the crankshaft, a turbo engine runs on its own exhaust steam, making it more energy efficient."

Turbo engines also tend to be slower taking off --
I like this exchange:
This is written by someone who thinks their headlight fluid is low
Gotta change those muffler bearings too.
Someone should get them a radiator insulator for Christmas

I guess CNN must have laid off all their editors. This was one of the worst articles I have ever read on this site. Not only was their comprehension of how an engine works bad, it was comically bad.
