Default that goes for more than cars too, i used to repair TVs/Stereos/camcorders/fridges/etc. @ Best Buy

and at the time whenever i'd see a consumer reports,..man... i always wondered if the manufacturers sent them some specially built unit to test on.. 'coz they were way off from what i saw in reality (as far as what brands/models broke and what didn't.)

crappy crappy rag.

Default More Car Person Rules From Texas

1. Pulling bass boat with TT may void warranty.
2. Longhorns on front hood, regardless of added down force, are NOT considered performance modifications due to additional drag.
3. Contrary to popular belief, local beers (including Lone Star, Shiner and Pearl) do NOT increase octane or enhance engine performance and may peel and bubble paint on contact.
4. Giant silver belt buckles on race harness may become hazardous objects in a collision.
5. Cowboy boots tend to slip off aluminum race pedals.
6. Cowboy hats must be purchased at least 5 sizes large to fit over race helmet.
7. Wrangler does not make a race suit.
8. Never un-holster your concealed weapon during chicane.
9. While extremely lethal, hunting deer with front fender is illegal, inhumane and tends to spoil meat when certain glands are impacted.
10. The TT is not an appropriate vehicle for coyote crossings, 4 occupants maximum.
11. Never drive real fast right after a chicken fried steak dinner.
12. Halter tops are not mandatory race wear and are considered optional equipment (especially in my car).
13. 01 and ¡§The General Lee¡¨ are trademarks and displaying them may subject you to a copyright infringement suit.
14. Even though mirrors look fixed, they are not and do not make ¡§great gun rests¡¨ for poaching game from highway.
15. Helmets are a very good idea for protecting your good tooth.
16. 25 salt licks will fit in coupe, 10 in Roadster.
17. Divergent to popular rumors, TT Camino and TT Ranchero are not ¡§in the works¡¨ in Germany.

Default and

Clear your front yard of those rusty wrecks. Parts from 72 Vega will not make the "excellent performance platform" or even fit on a TT!

I can't believe you mentioned Shiner in the same sentence with Pearl and Lone Star!

Default It is kind of blasphemous isn't it... But only if you're from here!

I liked Pearl for a little while, it's like our own little Schaffer, but with some extra taste if frozen by accident...

Lone Star is pure longhorn ****!!!!

Shiner I'll order in public and genuinely enjoy...
