I like how the local newspaper basically just admonishes the recently deceased high school kid with the front page headline...

Oh and I like to think those knights were feeding officer Jim a bunch of BS about those 12 extra flaws. I imagine things like cracked blinker fluid tank, broken doughnut dispensers, and oh boy did those greasers have old officer Jim hot under the collar.

Johnny's engine sputtered slightly and lost a couple hundred revs. All too soon, Johnny realized he would not make the crossing before the train. Johnny would need to use his brakes. But Johnny did not have brakes. This placed Johnny in an existential quandry. What would he do, Johnny asked himself. He needed to think quickly. He thought, 'I could turn right and go off into the field'. But this would make Johnny's car dusty. And probably suck-up dust into the carburator. So he turned left ...

[TapdancingAmelus]

@starmanskye ; I was thinking the same thing, man. hahaha.

1953. They had to be "taught" certain things because of their inadequate cars, like proper braking. And at launch they need some weight in the rear.
