If that would have happened on the Hollywood autobahn ....
Just ditch those things,and don't sell them to some poor guy either! Slash 'em and Trash 'em.
That's funny as heck, right there. We used to make an old '69 chevy stepper 4WD backfire when we'd go by construction crews when I worked on a ranch in San Luis Obispo - turn the key off and back on real fast - really made some guys mad. Should'nt have ever have done it, but it was funny when I was 22.
