That is the first thing we do when checking out a new potential driver.  They have to get in the car and make engine noise and all.  If they can't do it...then too bad you don't make the team.

Re: Instructional driving video for Lemons - MUST SEE for newcomers

I detected a slight high rpm miss in his motor, I think it needs more alcohol in the fuel..

  And, I want the contract to rebuild his transmissions....
