> [@usedtobe](#): > > KABOOM > > (Ford Pinto) I always thought it would be funny to get an old Pinto and paint hot-rod style flames on it, coming off the back instead of the front.

Stick it uppa u.s.!” This was in the mid '90’s, but it was the old '70’s blue and yellow CA plates, so it must’ve escaped the censors for a long time. ---
