Is that a joke or a serious answer like the dog bones which I still don't understand what they do.

those are turbos =]
shaped like a snail

turbos force air into the engine..more than it could suck in by itself

Those are some of the fastest snails on the planet Gayle. 'Turbos' take exhaust pressure to 'spool' additional air into the combustion chamber. Add increased fuel pressure and voila.........Snails!! :) I don'yt know $hit about snails compared to most of these guys, so if you want more info ask someone else.

Regording 'dog bones'

Dog bones are an integral and often worn/broken member of the rear suspension family. The 'swing support', as they are otherwise known as, connect the end portions of the rear sway bar to the sub-frame (?). And, Oskar (below) agrees that they do indeed look like little dog bones.

Good questions,
