Red face my first time

today was the first time when someone asked me what kinda engine i had in my fd. he is my little sisters friend...hes still in high school, i just finished college. first he asked, can you put a turbo on it? of course i was polite and said it had two but i want just a single one. then he said he really liked rx7's and wanted to get one but he couldnt afford it and his parents wont pay for it now i am kinda not listening to him cause i think he is so then he said that he thought that you couldnt have twin turbos on a V6 Engine . now i am like are you just stupid or ignorant. i said it was rotary and he had a stupid look on his face like rotawhat? well i thought it was funny because he thought he knew everything. and i got to school the newbie

Fuggin' newbs. All you can do is brief over the rotary subject then just leave it at that. Any further explaination results in a "wtf??" question.

Seriously, though. I didn't fully understand the rotary until I was in college. I saw CYM TKT's car rollin' along and I asked my friend, "Have you ever seen a car like that?" He replied, "It's an RX-7. It has a rotary engine." After that I became really interested in the Wankel rotary engine, and started doing tons of research. Soon enough, I had found a dream car: The FD.

I just tell people my car doesn't have pistons, it just has 2 triangles that spin around. That is enough to satisfy most folks that don't even know what a piston is.

A simple answer to a simple question:

Them: "Four cylinder?"
Me: "I don't have pistons, and you have no idea what im about to say, so please no more engine talk, k?"

Just tell him to stick his head close to the engine and you give it a good REV enough said.
