+ when the CCX crashes in the first turn, and the STIs and Evos continue on around the track, intimidation goes out the window

Holy Sheep Dip! I want to see what it does after they fit a wing on it.

*EDIT*
Eh, it was a generalization...it says more about how a group of people is comedically percieved, than how they actually are. Just try to consider what i said a joke. Making a joke isn't a delusional...but identifying with a bunch of different types of people who all own a common product for different reasons is delusional...funny how that works, huh?
