best one I had, was a guy wants to race in his ricer, we do he wins, my
buddy flips him the bird at the next light, 2 guys are freaking mad now, we

front of his car rips into pieces as he hits the bump!
we pull around and laugh our asses of from a safe distance of course, the
whole lower bumber thing was torn, flat tire, and who knows what else.
