Please do not lower yourself to sound cool.
You're better than that.

Dear CE,
Turbo is also a garden snail who wants to go fast (played by Ryan Reynolds) and the first part of a popular tax software. You are thinking of a turbocharger which is sometimes shortened to turbo but it is not a wholly owned trademark of anyone as far as I know and has been in use for a long time for many things. In the end the I.C.E. is going to be just fine whether Specialized continues using it for another 10 years or maybe 20 or 30 or 40 or 50...Gas engines will still burn a finite resource into the air we breathe, Specialized even as big as they are won't stop that simply by continuing to use Turbo something they have done since at least 2014.
Oingo Boingo shouldn't have played that concert in Muncie back in 1983, man, uncool! Obviously fake argument but kind of what is happening here it is old news and you are just now realizing you didn't like it and it has really no effect on anything.
Don't try to fake cool yourself, if you have nothing of use to provide to a thread then maybe no need to make a silly comment.
Hugs and Kisses,
VB
