- Some of the most fun I've had was abusing my wife's Toyota Tercel. Just
- keep the rev's up, watch out of cops and big trucks, but don't try to take
- corners too fast (the tires on my wife's were pretty narrow and rolled under
- quite easily). I had a blow out on the freeway once and it was remarkably
- well mannered getting it stopped.
-
- Paste some flashy graphics on the side and you'll feel like you've just
- gained 50 hp!
-
- Enjoy.
