I thought "RAM Garbage" had a particular disdain for Americans? I guess money talks...

Still a few places to drag race if you're comfortable dodging the cops (I'm not). That petroleum storage area on Ikei Island, and the long-ass bridge that goes there, for example.

Never like that fucker or his posse of asshats.

I used to run out there back when it was a windy two laner where that pretty new bridge is. Did you notice the exit from the rest stop to the pedestrian overpass heading towards ikei is almost exactly a 1/4 mile?

Quit trying to out think the engineers and just drive the car.

And at the other end of the spectrum...

Fiat X-19. Maybe my favorite car from when I was 21. Unfortunately, I could not fit my 6'2" frame into the damn thing.
