just what cvcrcr99 said.
Reliability and Gas mileage.
I know that there are some pretty reliable turbocharged cars out there.
I was thinking the other day....if it comes from the manufacturer turbocharged then definitely it's reliable.
But if it ain't from the MFTR you gatta have the money to really get it right.
I would love to keep it in because that sucker is haulin' but I want my a/c too.
For those of you who never came to the Bahamas, it get's extremely hot in the summer.
It's very rare that I would ever use turbo here anyway.
Maybe on Friday nights at the tracks but it don't make sense because there aren't any incentives to race.
So if you win and break your motor while you're at it the most you might get is a trophy.
This island is only 21x7 miles anyway and the majority of the time I am on the road is during the heavy traffic hours...so it don't make no sense. I might as well just keep her looking pretty and put some headache sound system and make it a show car. I'm thinking I may keep the setup but if I'm offered the right price, I'll let it go.
I just need to find some springs now to get her off the ground.
Rainy season don't play.

Wow.. that's amazing. Such a small island! I bet you could stand at the top of a building on one end and see people (maybe with binoculars) on top of another building at the other end.

Almost...There is a water tower that is basically one of the tallest points and you can see the next side of the island 7miles across that is. But the crazy thing is, on a regular work day it would take about an hour to get from east to west because of traffic. There is an estimate 150,000 cars alone registered; not including trucks, buses and government vehicles. There is an estimated 400,000 people in the Bahamas alone with about 200 and some thousand living in Nassau.
So......just imagine.
