haha.. funny stuff...
I was out with my son last week and this mitsu eclipse turbo pulls out in front of us and takes off full bore. There was a big blast of black smoke from the exhaust as the car bobbed up and down, then we heard a loud backfire and a bunch more smoke.
We didn't bother to pass him as we were laughing too hard and what would be the point..
A backfire like that can break or bend fins on the turbine... but I doubt he would have noticed.. To think at one time I used to drive a mitsu POS. Never again

Oh to have a camera with you when these things happen. To pull up beside them take a picture and drive away. Just to make them feel like more of an idiot.
