Yea unless you gotta fix it, than it ain't so cool.  I've earned my 
"wings" by literally driving over a Dodge Datona and a Pinto.  A 
total of six different cars hit me while I was in the air.  I landed 
on the wheels.  The ammazing thing is that except for the 45 degrees 
of toe out on the driver's rear and the radiator pushed against the 
block, the car still ran and was drivable.  You should have seen 
every's faces as I took a lap.  I had trouble seeing becaause the 
hood was bent up about 18 inches.  Talk about YEEHAA!!

Must suck to live out there.  My car is street legal in PA.  The 78's 
didn't have a cat.   :^p

Oh my mistake.  I thought that had something to do with bad air, not 
bad driving surfaces.  :^O
