speaking seriously....(nasioc voice)
you bought a performance vehicle not to baby and stay light on the throttle, and looking to get good mpg
you bought a a perfomance vehicle to drive fast. Sounds stupid to me when people b1tch about gas prices, insurance, chp fix it tickets. you bought the car knowing damn well you have to run at least 91 octane, its a turbo AWD vehicle, and with the amount of parts everyone is making for it, of course you'll get pulled over.
ok now that I said that....

Real? I have an iaitou at home. I can have it sharpened and made into a real sword if you want me to.

EDIT - oh ya.. that is just called slitting your belly. If you want to commit suicide ceremoniously, its called seppuku...
