Okay two things...

1) On a day like this (60 some degrees, after like 4 months of cold winter) I'm glad I'm a heterosexual Male :-D

2) 2nd so I saw an 80's geo metro with 5 ppl in it (looked more uncomfortable than my truck with 4 ppl in it), a geometroforum sticker, and a vanity plate boasting its 55hp (55horse)... funniest thing I've ever seen... just wish I could have smoked it, but it made a left as traffic cleared and there wasn't enough room for my truck... hell as slow as that thing moved I'm surprised it made it :-P

My favorite is 9 (yes nine) adults in a 1980s Oldsmobile driving on a rough streach of highway... There was so much weight (5 adults inthe back seat) that sparks were flying everywhere whenever they would go over a bump

Then i smoked them in my mommy's minivan

You've never seen 9 drunk college students in a saturn sl4, still not sure how we did it, poor thing barely made it up the hill though, we hit a whopping 12mph.

imagine three 200+ pound people in a 1.0L Geo Metro...

It took 4 minutes of mashed throttle to get to 55mph, and then we shifted into 5th, and hit a whopping 45mph...

We went down, 10mph...

Then, it stalled on the highway, so we pulled into a school parking lot, and it never started again...

My buddy forgot to fix his upper radiator hose, and it fell off, therefore, overheating the engine, therefore, melting the oil pan gasket, therefore melting the intake gasket, therefore, causing under his spark plugs to glow green...

That night we started our trek back home, along the highway, and we see a car coming, and I'm holding a HUGE chunk of steel, and I throw it, onto an electric fence, oops, my buddy stands in the middle of the road, waving his phone, and who is it, the STATE POLICE, what's his first words, "Don't worry, we're unarmed!"

What's the cops first words? "Have you guys been drinking"
