I wonder how can it keep you out of trouble?

Whenever I have to buy replacement parts I get into trouble explaining that it is thee most important part for safety, it reduces mpg, it makes ride quiter, it will help its resale value... or else the money is (better) spent on new pair of shoes.

If I'm under my car on the weekends that means I'm not out drinking, gambling and raising hell.

Of course there are other ways to get into trouble. Like ruining the dishwasher.

Talking Yes I love my car and NO you can't drive it!

I like mine because it's the only way I have at my age to make the youngsters in my neighborhood jealous!

You know you're German if:
You went to school in a Gymnasium
You check your shoes for candy on December 6
You have real candles on your Christmas tree
You know a Frankfurter is a person not a hotdog
Schnitzel with noodles is your favorite meal, not a song in a cheesy musical!
You drive the Autobahn in a Mercedes-Benz at the speed of sound!

I like my 107 because the other day I got challenged t a race by a young guy driving a Japanese racer, it was a shame he didn't know I had a V8. I hit second and left him behind me, how much fun is that? Way too much fun for the over 50 set.

You got it, the need for speed. I have a special spot in the bay area which is a long downhill ramp onto the freeway. It is too fun to see how fast you can get it going. I'm not always the fastest guy on the road, people in san diego are crazy. One time I was driving 85mph on the freeway and two cars both going over 100mph passed me on both sides. The other day I saw an acura rsx race a kawi ninja going aroung 100mph on a road without a center divider, I couldn't keep up with those guys even on the buell.

With the auto, i just gotta get out of first, put the foot down and hang on especially in 3rd. Have the kickdown let you loose going 85mph, these cars are real bahnstormers.
