Default I Got a bit scared when

I went to get my inspection done and he but the car on rollers and said this car is Rear Wheel Drive right! i did everything i could not to laugh and didnt leave his side for the rest of the test. Thankfully i did that cause he put the car in drive gave it some gas and didnt take the ASR off and it tried to jump the rollers. Thankfully after that everything went smoothly but talking about being scared!!

We got the same caliber goofiness in our law making end of this never ending legislation too. They don't know how to open an umbrella without hitting themselves in the face, but they want to tell us what is bad or safe for us!
