Absolutely @SCSG-G4 ! Even back into the 1980's, public schools had automotive shop and printing shops. We used to hire students for three of four hours a day after class. One of the best employees we ever had came out or Garinger High School back then...

I almost wonder if they really were faster - or was that whistler turbo making it sound like it was going faster? I don't know for sure, but every time I ever drove one it "sounded " like it was going faster too...
