I recently had a Turbo installed along with some other work and I spent a pretty penny to do it.

Now everything has been going fine for the most part until tonight. I was coming home from friends, got off the highway and came to a red light. While at the red light my car is suddenly engulfed in smoke… not a little bit of smoke but a ton of smoke.

Weird thing was it started from behind my car, like my exhaust was billowing smoke… so I’m starting to freak out. I take a look at the temp gauge but everything looks fine. I cannot see anything in rear view mirror or out the side of my car except smoke.

I see the light turn green, but no way I’m moving. No real traffic so I shut it down… I hear some guy yelling and swearing at me from behind my car… basically wanting me to get out of the way. I’m getting kinda pissed off at this point. I hear his engine rev and he goes around me in an S-10 truck that’s just pouring smoke out of every orifice it has. I have never seen anything like it.

Needless to say I felt instant relief when I realized it wasn't my car… bummer for him but I can live with that. Not sure I have ever had that kind of sinking feeling before.

Whew!!!

 

how long did it take you to figure out it wasnt your car?

 

damn, thats a relief

 

oh damn i'd of shiit bricks too!!

 

Seemed like a long time, but probably less than a minute. I was in panic mode so not really sure.

 

lol

 

i hate that sinking feeling. i would have been scared too. but good thing it wasnt ur car.

 

haahha thats funny still... lucky your G is ok

 

That IS a bad feeling. Happens to me when a near by car is making noises and for a second I think it's my G

 

LMAO! Good one!!

 

I hate that. I get that way when i hear a strange noise and it turns out being someone elses car.

 

sounds like you need to move out of redneck zona

 

Good think that it was not your G,

 

+1 on that

 

Thats a good one, glad it was not your car.
