Wow real time backseat handling checks from not only your mates vehicle but from other vehicles nearby! You should donate your Backside to science or loan it out to development groups!

"Show n Shine" is that way -------------------->

Got to agree on the statesman, my wife has one and while its a lot more comfortable to drive then my wagon, its a slug of a car around town.

Congratulations.

Though in future, keep it to yourself, street racing isn't cool.
