traffic in Los Angaleze! E-gads!!
Anyway...

Ah, so I am not the only person in the galexy who recognizes this little money 
scheme trick of the Japanese automotive industry? Americams are suckers for 
having "The Car". blah!!!

Well, ive SEEN your car. (Never driven it, you stingy little..) You've got that 
stealth mode thing working for you. It looks like it "could" be a beater, for 
the most part. (Red with rusty steel rims, tree crap all over the hood, roof and 
a busted all to hell windshield) It sure doesnt -look- like its got anything 
done to it, prefurmance wize. (You need a bunch of "TUNER" Stickers all over the 
car!)  heh-heh!! :)-

Thats my rule also. I admittedly will race on public roads but ONLY if a few 
criteria are in place first. "Traffic, weather, roads". Never race if there is 
traffic (Which pretty much excludes weaving in and out of traffic, that is the 
ultimate no-no!) on the road ahead. Its one thing to crash and or hurt yourself, 
you pretty much accept that responsability when you step on the right pedal, but 
involving other people is just wrong, in my book.

You know this, I know this, we know this, Mr. Acuraman thinks something is wrong 
with his motor. Hes now thumbing through the phonebook looking for a tune up 
shop! Har indeed!

Thats the look of defeat! I love it when they do that! (Or, "dont" do that...) 
Its the ultimate defeat signal another driver can give! He is unable to look 
defeat in the eye! Simple as that.

Nice story, those are always fun. My most recent was with a Dodge Charger 2.2L 
turbo. Uh, I need not say anything further. He was at least cool enough to give 
me a thumbs up when it was over. Naturally, I returned it.....
 Hey, Mannix, TA-TA!!
