Huh?

Downtown Mansfield hosted the annual car show today. I have never seen so many Chevy Novas in one place. Most of the cars were modified from the original, usually something small like defiling an '82 Delorean with an in-dash CD player with removable faceplate. One mod really stuck out, though: someone installed a ram scoop on a Pinto.

I'm going to repeat that, because there is no way you thought you read that right the first time. Someone installed a ram scoop on a Pinto. A person actually went through the trouble of reconfiguring an engine and refabricating a new hood to add 10-20 horsepower to a car with a tendency to burst into flames in collisions. Henceforth, "souped up Pinto" is my standard measurement of complete wacked-ness.
