I want a shootin’ car. Wouldn’t that be absolutely super fantastic? A car… to shoot at. Mindblowing.

But is it legal?

The last thing that I shot was a 1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Yes, an '88 88. Took out the “opera lights”. My “son” Nick shot up a Dodge truck. It had the 225cid slant six. Shot gun slugs and high powered rifle rounds. Yes we live in the boonys.

Lemme guess: you shot the engine full of holes–and it _still_ started.

(You couldn’t kill those things with dynamite . . .)
