Chip?

Someone told me they put a chip in their Camaro I told them that I did not know it could be chipped. Hey swore that they had a chip. I told them I thought it could only be tuned. Am I an idiot or are they retarded?

It depends where you come from I guess. We call a car chipped if it has been modified by a hand held computer, plugged into the OBD socket under the steering wheel. I had a "BamaCHIP" tune for my last Mustang. I would say they are one and the same. I don't care it's all good stuff.

The chip is a Flux Capacitor.. It allows for time travel.

Kinda like the new synthetic headlight fluid. Adds 100 million lumens, helps you see 20 miles down the road and doesn't affect global warming!
