There's always another option. Rev up your engine a couple of times and let em go.

If you lived here in N. Georgia, where every redneck has a 'beater pick-up' that would not be an unusual experience. And some of them are amazing, all motor, get and go, no paint, can't corner and can't stop, but they do go.

Everytime I drive it, sometimes even when I don't. Today I was out in the backyard in the pool with my wife and son. My next door neighbor tells me his son just bought a Charger with the hemi and he wants to race my Corvette. One too many hemi commercials I guess.

Been in Kentucy and Tn the last few days. Sounds like some of the rolling junk yards I've seen around here

It's supposed to be in good fun although it's a big risk, you don't have to race. I hate the slow junk that's always trying to race me.
