What a wonderful thread this is. I like seeing people so in love with their vehicles that they don't just own them, they play with them too. Our toys are still the best toys.

Someone on here has some really gross ones... they are sport bike mufflers if I remember correctly and point up like those semi-truck pipes. I know a few locals who would love to stomp the crap out of them if they saw the car parked around here.
