I thought that the harder you push the up button the faster the car goes in NFS 5
I thought when I was 10 it was legal to remove the top speed limiter in a car when i played NFSU2 for the first time.
When I was young I didn’t say a lot of bs, but one of my friend used to call vw golf, and sedan translates to Mercedes, as such a Passat was a Golf Mercedes… Enough for the Internet I guess…
Oh my :D Today I walked by a woman circling a multipla with “for sale” signs tolking to her ??boyfriend?? saying something like: “… yeah it’s for sale and it looks really nice!”. I know it’s a practical car and sh*t but still I was holding myself not to burst into laughter thinking that’s the 1st time I heard anyone say that and then I come home to this post :D
Because of video games, I always thought a muscle car couldn’t have a turbo and every other car couldn’t have a supercharger
true dat
You mean 4x4s don’t have four engines !?
my sister thought that the engine bay had a floor
I once said when i was like 7 that Corvette jad a V-16 So
When someone originally explained to me what a turbo was, I didn’t quite get it and thought that it was to help the exhaust gases get out of the exhaust with less effort….
When i was a small petrolhead I thought that 16v mean v16(16 cylinders)
