Dude! Your car is still running. (car w/ turbo timer)
 
Has anyone ever had people came up to you and said "Hey, your car is still running."? That usually happens to me once or twice a month. One time I was at Baskin Robbins, this older lady came rushing in the shop and said "There is a silver car still running in the parking lot and no one is in it." I had to explain to her that it is ok and not to worry. The guy next to me asked "Wow, your car can do that. You got a cool car, man." Funny sh*t. Anyone has similar experience?

I had a guy chase me down in a costco parking lot to tell me that my car was still on, I hate explaining it to people and getting that look "?!"

I sometimes get lazy and leave the headlights on. You should see their faces when I walk away with the engine, running headlights on, while arming the alarm. :D

call me a n00b if you will, but i have 0 experience with TTers, can someone explain this "car is still running" phenomenon ....

I didn't think factory turbo'd cars have any use for TTs. Except to make people ask you 'Did you know your cars still on?'

Keisatsu Jun 16, 2005 10:49 AM

nm i just used the power of google to figure it out... makes sense to me now

Yeah, mine too.

lolol

yeah, you don't really have any need for a TT w/ the factory turbo. some people like having it anyway. but the turbo has a cool down procedure even after the car is turned off.

Look for the turbo cool down procedure diagram.
