I've never seen that car before. It looks average I am sure it wont do to much. There it goes peeling out half the way through 1st and squeeling into 2nd. OMFG!!!! WTF is that fire [breathing dragon] raping the track and pillaging the ricers of what little self-esteem they conjured up to come to the races? It's a damned DEMON!!! It just smoked a brand new '03 MiniCooper! All I can see is a gray blur weaving in harmony with the bright orange cones and All I can hear its beautiful humming tone and a few [squeels] of acceleration through the hard turns and a drunk hick yelling "woohoo! Get Er Done!!!" It just stormed past the finish line. I can see the front. It has a bright red "VW" symbol on the grill. It calmly cruises by me as if it had just gone for a [Sunday drive] and now I can see the back. In bright red letters it reads "Volkswagen [Scirocco] S..." IN-CRED-IBLE! ❋ Ronin (2005)
