Default My Supercharger saved my life.

Coming back into work from “lunch” (9pm) last night I have to make a left in this dual left turn median thingy. If there is a car from the opposite direction turning left, it will be sitting right in front of you. I have a great habit of looking way ahead into traffic (and apexes) and taking in the whole picture. Well there happened to be a car in the left turn median and it was apparently screening an oncoming car even though I looked for any oncoming traffic. I downshifted in 2nd and took the turn nonchalantly. As soon as I got perpendicular in the oncoming traffic lane… headlights were bearing down on me… fast. I hesitated toward the brakes but it was too late to stop so I gunned it. The boost needle jumped and so did the Super D- right out of the way. Thanks be to instant, on-demand torque.
