So I took the white Charger R/T (pictured) I mentioned earlier out for a spin with my dad. It was a very fun car to drive, with a wonderful 60's soundtrack and plenty of punch to compensate for its rental-fleet looks. But something terrible happened, exactly what JGrabowMSt !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . While I was stopped in the empty parking lot of my dad's former employer, of all places, he accidentally bumped the button that turned off the ESP, right as I was trying to do a little sound check. Unfortunately, this resulted in the tires spinning for several seconds and creating a substantial amount of smoke. Fortunately, I noticed this and released the brake, but I forgot to turn the ESP back on, so, completely unintentionally, I left two very long, black stripes across this poor man's parking lot. But I certainly didn't enjoy it one bit. Oh no, I feel very guilty.

when my buddy had his (wife's), we accidentally lost the factory exhaust and replaced it with test-pipes & a corsa system, then had to get a diablo tuner to get the CEL off. needless to say it made noise only fit for the most evil of angels.

People brought products on the basis of infomercials just like this one.

Don't think about that too long, or it will start to sting.

Best way to learn how a car handles: take it for a spin.

If that thing has a rental-fleet look, I'm Elvis.

I know how it is. Sometimes you're just hanging out in an empty parking lot, when you bump the gas while tweedling around and suddenly, you're forced to countersteer at which point there's nothing to do other than ride the skid out. FOR SAFETY!

when I test drove my charger, we switched drivers in the country. I made the Mrs. look out the passenger side window and turned it off when she wasn't looking. It was damp out so the pavement was a little moist. After I got the fishtail under control, I turned it back on and as I did I said " don't push that button." Ever since then it's been referred to as the "don't push that" button.
