I have laughed at other peoples cars (Sunfire with all the midnight indiglo gauges, a 6" tach, body kit and nothing else) and almost got into fights over it, but I have never heard my car laugh at another car.

I'm not sure why, I kind of laughed and the guy was driving about 30 and about crawled out of his car window yelling at me (he was driving!). It wasn't really intentional until he over reacted, but it was to hard not to laugh once he started acting stupid. My only thought on it was he has been made fun of all his life and is self conscious about his car. I guess I am lucky he didn't have a gun, I have heard of people getting shot for less.

Mine just gives me the evil eye if it catches me staring at other cars.

kudos - great gas mileage.
was at a gas station yesterday - lady was filling up her suburban (sp), i knew she was taking quite some time - i had put air in 3 tires and pull over to the pump and put in 15 dollars.
Went around the pump when she finished: How much did she put in ??

100.50 - yes, one hundred dollars and fifty cents
