    haha, if you get within a few feet from the back and kick it in neutral, they'll drag you a little ways with the draft. it is fun. just pray that he doesn't tread a tire... :shock:

    Well, it was a joke. I got all the stone chips with the car, so getting a few more is no big deal for me.

    I do like the grappling hook idea though! :D

    Clean all the extra crap you don't need out of your car. I have seen a 30% ish fuel economy improvement from taking my car from 3180lbs to 2592lbs.
