Not to be the terminal buzz kill, but be careful out there with stop light races. I've witnessed a couple that go from fun to tragedy when an errant car pulled out in front of one of the drivers.

Might want to take the JCW to a drag strip and see what it can do against say, a Boxster S ;-)

A quote from the 'Site Rules' found on the top pull down menu:

"LEGAL
Posts relating to street racing, excessive speeding, or violations of other laws are prohibited. If you want to race, take it to a legal venue."

To include street racing along with others preoccupied with their instant communication devices makes the roadways even more deadly.

Last time I did something like that 15 years ago, I was threatened with a misdemeanor.

Before you can become old and wise you must first be young and dumb!

LOL JCWs are great cars but it's stupid red light race because: 1) any douchebag in a new Charger which seems be a lot of douchebags in black Chargers lately can take this JCW off the line or a Mustang GT 2) shortens life on your clutch just to make your ***k h*** is inane plus the JCW is built for track more than dragster racing. 3) it's dangerous to nice folks like moms w kids and other people who also use the road. Too bad they don't have avatars on web forums like this that you can b*tch slap. hahaha one day . . .

+1 Gotta be one of your top ten posts ever! However comma when I last applied for a greeter's position, I recall on the app that Wallmart was spelled with only one L. FWIW��

It's also supposed to be capitalized which I refuse to do as well.
