A porcupine has the ****** on the outside.

That is all.

This joke first surfaced in the 80's with BMW, and I think it works best with BMW There's nothing pricky about a dodge.

SRT-4s are some of the fastest cars at my track down here (for lack of other people bringing faster vehicles...big $$$ down here, but I understand). A few of the guys are truly professional and mod their SRT-4s Some show up and just drive...OK

However, a grand majority are indeed ****** who show up thinking they are going to be hot stuff and I enjoy watching them get their mouths shut by the exhaust of something like a turbocharged Beetle.

SRT-4's are really fun cars to drive. They provide pretty good power. The reason people are aholes with them, is becuase they are so cheap and it has turbo. So all the youngins that get them think that they are god.

Some Loser in a yellow SRT-4 Tried to race me on 9A when i was going home from school.....He kept pulling up to me and flying away. I'll definately admit those little cars are quick.

Oh...they are quick.

The tuning magazines (and I know a few editors) remark about this. Whenever someone asks question about which NEW car should I buy for the 1/4 mile, SRT-4 is the one that inevitably comes up. We do not have much of a good selection south of the border in terms of price or range.

They just need a warning near the shifter like "don´t be a ***** when you grab the stick"

And I've met many a SRT-4 owner though my multi-car meets and they are quite a good bunch.

Agreed...BMW is more fitting than Dodge, but Porsche even more so.

( Yes, we know, there are non-p***k BMW owners too....like genearch and Incendiary )
