Hey Eric,

I want a Turbo but can't afford one.

Maybe you can produce some of the stickers for people like me. $30 per set and instant turbo. Oh, I would need a badge for the rear deck also so maybe you could create a "Turbo Package" for say...$49.

I dont get the joy ride thingy, but every focus group I have been in didnt include joy riding, how does this happen?!
I would bet that they are giving them to regular drivers--non-engineers. Probably with instructions to drive it like it was theirs for a couple of weeks. They're then looking for input from them on a survey as to their impressions and issues (e.g., the nose it too low for normal driveways...)

Would said package include this totally awesome fake blow off valve?
