Apparently we have to drive cars that LOOK like the yare fast. People I know
laugh at Camaro's. They have the image of pizza slurping gold chain wearing
owners whose favorite air freshener is pimp oil. Seriously if you think a
car is going to make you popular or get you a girl maybe you should re-think
who you associate with. Meanwhile I will keep laughing when Gary Donovan's
Reliant runs a high 10 second 1/4 mile with no nitrous on pump gas. Yes it
is fwd and has a 2.5 Chrysler 4 cylinder.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the
inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
