Everybody wants electric everything and a lot of research money is dumped into it so for the very near future yes turbos are the fun way to make power and save fuel to get past the fuel mandates but electric will likely be the end game.Gunsmokin wrote:Turbo is the future, I think.

I don't care how much power they have, its bad for the mustang rep. I am sure insurance will get her another one but yeah that stupid text and driving crap gets old.

Re: Post a Pic That You Have Taken From Your Cell Phone
I agree to an extent with you Jack. Although, unless the .gov just outlaws gas and diesel, electric is going to be decades away from being the predominant fuel source. Commuting in an electric vehicle is probably not as far off, but taking a trip where you have to stop every couple hours for an hour to "re-fuel," or freight transport, isn't going to have much support, IMO.

We both are on the same page. It isn't right around the corner but it is in motion.Gunsmokin wrote:I agree to an extent with you Jack.

Diesel turbo > Gas turbo any day of the week.
I like the new Ford Ecoboost but would not want one in a full size truck.

The rest of the world has had them forever. We have just not the small turbo diesels here for whatever reason. Sucks...Toddstang wrote:Diesel turbo > Gas turbo any day of the week.

Saw the new dewalt 12v cordless drill with mandatory charging system. I don't think it's gonna be a good seller.
Oh, how so high they fly........ only further to fall.

Re: Post a Pic That You Have Taken From Your Cell Phone
Had a buddy from South Africa that had an old Toyota with a small turbo diesel in it. Kept having to source parts from his dad in SA. But once he got it up and running on the trails it was pretty cool. Not much get up and go to it but it would crawl up most anything.Marcus wrote:Our diesel is too dirty.Niceguy wrote:The rest of the world has had them forever.

That shit is retarded. It is the equivalent of a clown costume to me and that guy thinks it's badass. To each their own though and if he worked for it and likes it then my opinion is just that, my opinion.Toddstang wrote:
