@IN THE FACE!: Those are cold-riveted girders, with cores of pure selenium.

@maximum_sarge: ba-dum-psssssh!

@Dru: Then 99 red balloons go by.

I think the NOS blew the welds on his intake manifold.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: In California I think your passenger can have an open container if he's in the trunk...

@Skunky: I was going to go with 'whatever law allows CARB to exist.'

@CrabSpirits: I've done that job on Accords and maybe a Prelude or two, but I don't think the Civic was ever like that. The Ford Festiva was the same way.

Didn't European Pimp My Ride pimp a Trabant one time?

@Pessimippopotamus: Blue is not an acceptable color for any car. Not my mom's old Cutlass Supreme, not my mom's old Saturn SL, not a McLaren F1.

@Elhigh: I miss drive-through car washes. They don't have them around where I live now. I used to like going through them when I was a kid in New Jersey.

Wendig, schnell, ausdauernd, und robust. Count me in!

You should have used a semicolon instead of a comma in the title. I like semicolons. They're rad.

I saw video of something a lot like this happening, maybe 12 years ago. In that case, when the crew member lifted the body work, it got caught on the throttle bellcrank and revved up the engine. I think everyone was okay that time too. I can't find it on youtube anywhere.

Oh, shit, my sister lives in Royal Oak, and this thing is sure to become sentient and bloodthirsty. Who wants to go to Michigan with me and gun it down? It will be the most dangerous game ever.

I get wholesale at Andy's Auto Supply (still independent, in Santa Cruz), so I paid even less last time I did this job. Outsourcing has its advantages.

@Aaron Luptak: I was just going to say, why does the narrator sound suspiciously like Barry Meade.

I usually like Switzer's stuff because they seem to be honest. A rare thing in the tuning industry. Does anyone know of them pulling any Hennesseys?

@TouchMyMonkey: He was buying, not selling.

Okay. So I have a no-drugs-in-my-car rule, because I don't do drugs, but all my friends do. And I give them rides a lot. And if I get pulled over because they had drugs I didn't know about, you know.

@pauljones: "Great date movie" usually means "too busy to watch the movie, thanks."
