I only thought the Nitrous working as a back burner, but to be fair, I think that is NFS’s fault
After playing NFS as a kid, I thought Nitrous came out of the taillights…
And I also thought that when a car had a badge at the back that said “V6” or “V8”, that was the number of valves the engine had. For example, a V6 car would have three cylinders, or a V8 would have four lmao
I thought the more exhaust pipes the car had the faster it was
Badges on the back of the car shows what’s inside that car, and there is no way someone would lie to us by putting fake badges on there.
We all used to brag how our dad’s car can go 100km/h like it was the highest speed any car can go hahah
Man back in my day some cars couldn’t get past 100km/h . And if they did…..it was pretty scary.
Am I the only one that called nitrous oxide “BOOST” as a kid and told my dad to do boost when he was driving😂…all he did was accelerate fast in our e46 BMW.
I once thought that 16V meant the car has 16 cylinders.
I thought that rain was basically a free car wash…
I used to have ideas about jet powered cars because “the air made the car move so you didnt use any gas”
