My stomach turns when I get next to some of these dinky cars with the loud exhaust...you can look at the hood & tell nothing more than a 4 cylinder lives under the hood, and my Dakota pickup can outrun most of them. Most sound like sick duck calls...
In the end, there is always someone out there with something bigger & faster. Fun toys to play with, anyway...

Here we go again... [sigh]
