If yer gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
Default Am I missing something?

So...Why is it that one of the first questions people ask me about my car is if I have a BOV? Shouldn't they be asking if it has a turbo first?

Maybe because that's one of the first mods that people who don't know better, do.

I'm surprised that don't ask where you got that sweet body kit for your Honda from. Or has the brodawg movement made Subarus popular enough now that people recognize even the old body styles as subarus these days?

Yah, but we're talking about blow off valves, not big open vaginas.

Cody, you are awesome!

It just doesn't make any sense to me(The BOV that is). That's all. And people always ask what times it puts down. Just cuz its loud doesn't mean its fast. And when I tell them I don't drag race, they look at me like Im from another planet. I don't like it down here. Silvio and I had a shit talking fest about these kids earlier today.
