Getting hurt would really suck. I think about it every time I go out and ride my
CBR 600.

I lust for a a Mini Cooper S done up in red Monte Carlo rally trim. It'd have to
be a hotted up 1300cc example with a Jack Knight 5-speed, (big!) 13" Minilight
rims, rollcage, and a rack of Hellas on the front. Would I trade my rallycar for
one.... Probably! Danger be damned; let's have some fun! Braaaap,
braaaaaaaaap.... I'd go hunting for ricers and show'm whose boss!

Hey, you drive a Scirocco, right? They're not exactly "safe" by modern
standards, either. That's one of the reasons why mine is getting a complete
rollcage.
