LOL I was thinking of the same thing...those darn whistle tips that came out in '03. My understanding it was a short lived fad.

"Da whistlaz go wooooo!!!!"

And in my best Bubb Rubb voice....

We see a lot of pretty zany things in California's bigger cities including those silly spinner wheels that keep spinning after you've come to a stop. This fake turbo kit--and I watched the video clip--is probably about the most silly way of frittering away $19.95 that I've seen in a long while.

I needed to replace the timing belt on my old Chrysler Lobrid Landau Downsized Strato-Cruiser (with peeling paint, no less!). They overtightened the new timing belt, so I get a high-pitched whine when I rev the engine. It sounds a heckuva lot more like a supercharged engine than what the car in the vid clip has, by far! When the odometer gets close to 180,000 miles (just about another 40,000 miles or so), it'll be due for another new timing belt, and maybe the whine will go away at last.

Actually... the moron is so dimwitted, instead of saying "sumptin" he says "somebody".

The second I read the first post in this thread, I was thinking, "who is going to be the first to find that video featuring Bubb Rubb and Sista' Sis".

Classic. I remember that story from what, 2000?

This decade will not be known as having a lot of excellence in culture! The post above mine is proof of that!

At least their advertising is right, from their web page "makes your car sound like it has a fake turbocharger"

Why would you want your car to sound like it has a fake turbo charger?

I guess kids think it sounds cool and it's a fad
