I knew turbos made you faster, but I said that there ‘was no such thing as boost….’
I thought the badge 4x4 meant it was the biggest car you could buy and i still dont know exactly why cops pull you over when you have bold tires, when f1 cars do. But i know bold tires are bad for everyday life
By a 16 v motor i thought it has 16 cylinders 😂
I thought nos was something which was fire that propelled the car to go faster
For the 16v i thought that it stands for 16 cylinders in a v form.
I was exactly the same thinking my mums 328i used 2.8 litres every turn of the engine hahahah
🙈 well when I was very very young , I thought the cars are moving cause of the earth turning , so actually the cars where standing still and only the ground underneath them was moving faster or slower , I could never explain to myself how a junction worked though 🙈 ✌
When I was young I thought riced cars were cool. I deeply regret that
In my country, people think that horsepower is the engine displacement
I use to think the 4x4 meant the trucks bed was 4 feet by 4 feet
