First, I'm glad you didn't get hurt with the Dodge duelly incident. A-h-o-l-e.
Second
You have an automatic as well. I know you can race down the quarter mile.
All you do is lower your tire pressure to about 25 psi, line up at the starting line, hold your brake pedal with about 2000 rpm: here we go! - red, yellow, green - punch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! about 13-14 seconds later you're through the finish line, your heart is pumping, you have a permagrin on your face, and you're ready to do it again to try to get a better time. You are not necessariy racing against the car beside you (well, actually you are) but trying to improve on your time. I am hoping to line up to a 350Z
