Also the water keeps circulating after shutdown so is pointless.

When I arrive at my destination, I just sit there for an extra 2 minutes idling ...everyone in the street watches me & wonders what I'm going to do, it's so nervewracking, what will he do!?!

Then I turn the car off, slowly step out & look around while putting on my Aviators.

Man I feel cool.

I thought the purpose of the turbo timer was to allow your turbo to cool down so that it doesn't cook the oil that is left sitting inside the turbo when the car is turned off. Hence you get longer life from your engine oil, which gets changed every 5000k's anyway.

Slow down when I get home??? That's where I know where the speed cameras aren't. Slow down before I park at work, but I am always running late. Car stolen while idling, install the handbrake sensor so the car shuts off if the handbrake is disengaged.

Why would the handbrake be engaged in the first place? Isnt it just there for sik drifts in da naybahood on youse way home cos there aint no popo n shit to stop you?
