If you’ve been here for ten years you know a little bit about my history.  It’s been about FOUR MONTHS since I proclaimed NA forever, and spoke with disdain of turbocharger responsiveness and engine bay clutter.  What changes in my mind?  Well… nothing actually.  I just resign myself to reality once and a while.  I don’t have 15k for a […]
