I told you not to click...

This is just a post of sadness: Waiting for my turbo kit...

What are some you in my position doing to pass the time?

I sleep at night to daydreams of what my car will be like, people I would show it to, cars I would call out, my first BOV salute, how I would drive it home from the installer, where I'd take it the first night...

I'm ******* losing it

Oh well, yes bartender, I'll have one more tonight, one for my turbo... I hope we will soon be joined...

Ha ha, I find myself looking at videos alot to pass the time. Look at it this way. Atleast you guys are waiting for the completion of your cars. I'm just waiting for the parts and then I'll probably run into an issue or two when installing it myself which will take even longer. Patience my friends patience.

No, no! I am still waiting for the actual kit! Then, of course, comes chapter two of the waiting story... Install! Oh, man... WTF, it's tearing me into halves!

"It's okay, son. You will get the turbo soon. You'll see..."


Versus


"Ha, you still don't have it? You sorry POS! Oh, wait! Is that the doorbell? Maybe it's UPS... Oops! I was kidding you no-turbo loser!"



Winner for today: "HA"

ahhh, but once you turn that key and go for your first spin you'll forget the wait. I know I did. I've been cruising and trying to tune my turbo set up now for the past week....had to call in someone with greater knowledge than mine tho

I feel for you guys, and yes I know the wait for the damn UPS man....he makes my house the last stop I probably get more deliveries than half the businesses around my house and that punk still comes to my house last

...ok it could be worse...like me

i still have to wait for the money, to order the parts, to wait to get the parts, to wait to install the parts at the right time, to wait to tune the car before driving it boosted...

i just try to not think about it...

hey, cool man, thanks

my dad called futral last week and he told him to call back in a couple weeks, so it seems like its just taking forever. i know he has a lot of other projects there, but i would have hoped that my car would be priority since it was supposed to be done early late february/early march.

i dont mind being patient, but i guess you can only take so much before you start to get inpatient and anxious. i hope the car is still there

i bet its already put together, hes just using it for cruises to the local supermarket



but, i know they say good things come to those who wait. i just wonder how long these people waited?

i feel like moses, walking through the desert for 40 years, cept im in need of a turbo 408, not water

I can't imagine waiting for a year for my car no matter what the hell they were doing ? There's no way it should take even half that long IMO.

This is an evil thing to say ......but I think I'm going to go out and drive my turbo beast right now.


Sorry, I saw an opportunity and I HAD to take it....lol

I hope you get your **** together soon man. I know what the wait is like. It's all you can do to hold back from making screaming engine sounds, and turbo 'whoooshes' in your office at work while people come in to see what the hell you are doing.
