My car backfires all the time when deaccelerating. I feel like I'm driving a
race car from the 60s when they all did that.
Funny thing is that it runs, er ran, great, but farted a lot :) In a tunnel
it really sounds cool and everyone stays away thinking it's going to blow
up. Hey wait, that happened already :(
Pop pop pop,
