Yeah, but you have the awesome "big" Monte Carlo engine. I think one of my dad's 96's has a Monte Carlo engine in it, but it's a 67. His '65 bullnose is standard issue 750.

generic comment about the 2-stroke engine being better

These guys would make terrible rally spectators. 20 seconds between crash and the first person starting to move to help? Real spectators are there before the car stops moving...

You're not alone:

Thanks everyone for the replies. It's telling that almost everyone went with the definition of cheap as price, rather than quality. That's partially because that's what the dude in the article meant, but it's also partially because, deep down, everyone knows that the iPad costs a bit more than the competition. I…

Yeah, par for the course on most on-screen driving. Any shots of it moving where you could identify MJ as the driver were done on the back of a truck.
