[ QUOTE ]
cool..is that a Turbo mirror??

[/ QUOTE ]It's funny to me how every decade has it's own cool sounding, but completely unwarranted adjective to describe virtually any otherwise chinsy automotive product. The late 50's had "Deluxe" plastered on everything. In the 60's everything was "Kustom." In the late 70s-early 80s it seems everything was dubbed "Turbo" something or other, from wheels to mirrors, even "Turbo Action" radial tires. The 90's seemed to have spawned a lot of "Euro" type designs, which mostly just meant it was painted flat black, and I guess the term for the new millenium has become "Extreme" or the even more trendy "X-treme." Heck, my deodorant even comes in an X-treme version nowadays. What gimmicky term will they come up with next?
