Re: Best moment you've had in your car?

Got out of midterms and was leaving the parking lot when I see two friends running into my friends car. I pull out and they follow me. He passes me, then I return the favor.

Re: How does your car rank?

Well, 119 without using the mixed origin thing, 219 with them.
