Introductions - Why are you a "Turbo Owner" ?

I Guess i will start it.

My Name is Joe. I've owned 4 turbo cars (currently still own 3 of them).

1987 Subaru XT 1.8L Turbo (piece of crap, would never buy one again)
1985 Merkur XR4Ti (Just Sits)
1989 Supra Turbo (518rwhp/491rwtq)
1987 Plymouth Colt 1.6L Turbo (Daily Driver)

A lot of people call me "Turbo Joe" and the rest call me "The Man". I won't mention what the rest call me.

i guess i like them because they are possibly dangerous and controlling them makes me think i have control over something? haha

and i own a volvo with a turbo because its rare for someone to modify a turbo volvo.

I have always loved the sound and feel of a turbo. My first was an 87T supra, and then I upgraded to a 96 T67 supra. Turbo to me means broke, but i will always own a few.
