I agree. That was my two cents worth as well.

Maybe it's just in Texas where municipal coffers overfloweth with Shale Oil money, but you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Chevy Tahoe cruiser. Everyone from little town local-yokels, to County Sheriffs and even the Texas DPS are driving those GD things. Since every soccermom and her dog drives one too it…

Yup. For a while there was a whole cottage industry in producing those things. Cheap ass me though? I bought one and used it on four cars for 10 years. I had friends who jammed in the resistor, wrapped it and hoped for the best. lol Me? I preferred the resistor tucked inside a couple GM weatherpak connectors to…

Paying the Gas Guzzler tax. I've got two GT500's that I paid it on, so yeah, defeating the CAGS skip shift is the best money I ever spent. lol

I'll bet it isn't difficult to defeat, on purpose. GM knows they have to use this for CAFE and they also know their customers don't want it. I had it from '96 (Z/28 SS) , 2000 Camaro SS, 2001 C5 Corvette and a 2005 C6 Corvette. I defeated it in all of them for over 10 years. The funny part? I used the same part I…

You, good sir, are correct! *thumbsup*

Ding Ding Ding! Winner! Heck, I waste enough time on Jalopnik to worry about Facebook. So, I did an actual [Delete].

Not only driving the "wrong way" around the track... suddenly sitting on the "wrong" side of the car!

Certainly would appear to be.

Don't be a doucherocket and you won't end up looking like an asshat in a $100k car.

You guys understand everyone (told at least, I) get that, right? It was just a silly exclamation. Lol.

Texas, Hell yeah!

Sorry, Punk'd ruined JT for me. No matter how long it's been, or what he's done since then, anytime I see him all I can think of is him sitting on the curb, crying like a little girl and calling his mom to come rescue him because they were taking away all his sh*t. lol

Oh I know he wasn't/isn't/has-no-intention-of strapping a turbo, and by default, sinking a metric ass-ton of money into the beetle, but that doesn't mean I won't attempt to Jedi mind trick him *cough*jason-get-a-turbo*cough* into going ahead and doing it any way. lol

But but but...if you do what this article says, you're STILL "working" in a sense, you're just doing it somewhere other than your office. No, young Jedi, THIS is how you epitomize slacking.

PS - Now, for a big-honkin' turbo.....

Jason, I've followed the entire saga of the Beetle's theft and resurection up until now and I just have to say, it's damned gratifying to see it on the road. Not only from the perspective of a "car guy" hearing that air-cooled flat 4 bang away, but also just from a "Good Guys, F*ck Yeah!" perspective. That yellow…

As I really have no interest in her, her "reality shows" or her porn vid, I have to fall back on my philosophy of life that has served me well for 40-some-odd years.

Whoa there big boy, you're mistaking me for someone with MUCH thinner skin. lol I knew you didn't mean ME in particular. Just general comments. No offense taken or intended.

Remember a couple weeks back when I said, "I like that basard Kurtis"? Well, this just reinforces my point. I fuckin' love that bastard. Kurtis. You know, no homo. Just bros.
