I used to say to each his own but recently changed my mind. At least when it comes to rice.

There's a Sport Compact Car magazine in my office now. (No it isn't mine. Someone found it and thought it would be funny to put on my desk. Kind of like gay porn or something...whatever). Anyhow, there's an ariticle in there about track testing the cars from 2Fast 2Furious. To sum it all up all the rice cars are talked up about how balanced and high tech they are. Turbos, nitrous, fancy paint, blah, blah, blah. Then they review the clone Yenko Camaro. Here are some quotes. "For those throwbacks still reading "Car Craft"... this Camaro is powered by a 427-cubic inch (7.0 liters to those of us comfortable in the 21st century), iron-block, cam-in-block, overhead valve V8 making 425hp despite relying on a giant fuel leak called a "four barrel carburetor" for induction...the steering is as much by blind luck as it is by a recirculating ball and the solid axle on leaf springs rear suspension is about as supple as a cylinder block being slammed into an old Norge freezer."

And they go on but you get the gist. Finally I read the stats of this Camaro and look at that. It ran a 13.7 ET in the quarter. Fastest car they reviewed from the movie and this is their magazine. Well that about sums it up I think.

The older I get the more I think tolerance of others is overrated. Just me.
