At times like this i wish i had the power to BAN People.

I know MTA Buses are not the best handling cars in the world, but I still thought it was funny
I figure he pulled of to the side off the road to wallow in his shame.......

I've always wanted to race an MTA, but there aren't very many where I live unfortunately. I MIGHT be able to keep up with one in the twisties. I suppose I should trade my Corvette for an ex-police interceptor just to have a fighting chance.

im sorry, i just have to call
on this one.

OK we all get that the caprice vs firebird post was BS of the first degree...
(Having said that i know im still going to be flamed for this one)
I've had both a caprice 9c1 and F-body and on the street or a freeway the F-body will rape the caprice (duh... its the same engine with 2 extra doors on it!) But on the shitty back roads we have here in CT the caprice can hold its own, it deals with broken pavement much better than the f-bodys, and the brakes on them are excelent.
Just sticking up for the B-body boys
