sweet story on leaving the double black lines ...
I don't know what year it is & at the time, I didn't think to ask. It is absolutely the 2 door version & it doesn't look bad.
The Avenger is now a sedan!? Sometimes you wonder what manufacturer's are thinking.

I love my perfect driving record the last 15 years and I don't want to jepordize it. Gas is already way too high and don't want higher insurance rates to boot.
Wise advice though it isn't any "fun" when no one's around. I, too, haven't had a moving violation in over 15 yrs. & no accidents in the past 25. I'd like to keep it that way though now that I've "written" this down I'm probably SOL.

perhaps you should look up the term "sports car" you may see a picture of my austin healy sprite. I believe that it covers every aspect of being a sports car. With a whopping 76BHP and a top speed of 95 MPH

This weekend the wife & I are visiting my folks, Mom was celebrating her 80th, in a retirement community north of Milwaukee. My sister asks me for a ride. Now my sister has to be one of the most insecure drivers I have EVER seen: won't drive in the snow even if we just get a dusting, doesn't drive the freeways, gets nervous when it rains, the type of driver you just dread getting behind so I know this will be fun. After she hits the bathroom & tells her 'significant other' to make sure he leaves me out of the will if she dies, she falls into the passenger seat: "gee, this car is so low".
Pull out of Mom & Dad's driveway, turn off traction control & just mash the pedal. 2 blocks & a haze of blue smoke later she's screaming in the car & I swear I've still got fingernail marks on my dash. Two solid black lines down the asphalt forever. I proceeded to drive a ways down the road, turned around & head back to "Serenity Acres". As I approach the driveway again I see one of my folks' neighbors, who has an Avenger in his driveway (& who is 90, count 'em, 90 years old) start walking towards the car. He waves me over & asks "just what the hell kinda car is this?"
After about 10 minutes of car talk he leaves, my future brother-in-law asks me "is she dead?" & my folks say that nothing like this ever happens here; they're sure the neighbors will be asking who that was.
Ahhhh, a wonderful weekend.............
Beautiful.

I'd rather baffle them with BS than burn out

During the day I'm usually reserved, but I stay out late a lot, and I always floor it then. My problem is that cars that pass me, I generally consider a challenge. Thats probably why I have had 2 tickets in the 2 years I have been driving.

It might not have been clear but I was being sarcastic with regards to all the post about how only the SRT6's were "true sports cars" that have been appearing as of late...

They have support groups and programs for that sort of thing.

But seriously, road rage kills.
