"There are three ways to write (2). Now write that sentence."

Piss poor instructions. (opinion) Is that really the exact wording of the question, and what the h*ll does it have to do with cars?

2 2/1 2.0 II two

The two men, Roger Roush II and Wayne, saw the traffic sign with the bold numeral 2, indicating the distance to town.

That and a buck will get you a coffee at Mickey D's!
My 'give a sh*t factor has reached it's threshold.

It has nothing to do with cars. Pure thread drift.

My ChevyII has two 2 inch hula dolls wearing tu tus on the dash

[rogruth]

Well now. I guess it is appropriate.

A thing of beauty at any rate.

A big yellow key? What strange auxiliary equipment I see.



Are the names with "X's" kills?

You're a fun guy, Wayne. (Are the names with x's kills? You're too much [and that is without any tutu.] )

Trying your hand at a little Haiku-ing, are ya?

That yellow thing could be to pull it onto a trailer. It could also be a kill switch. Pill it out and it kills the electric fuel pump. Yet placement in the front would lean towards not being a kill switch.

[John Webster]

The yellow ring is a tow strap attach point. Racing cars are required to have a place where a flat web strap can be attached for a tow in after an on course breakdown. The kill switch is the red handle next to the blue triangle decal.

Lotus Cortinas were very popular and successful race cars back in the late 60s. They were usually white with a green stripe in that little fold in the bodywork that runs along the top of the side panels.

The names on the sides are of former drivers of the car. The x marks are actually flags denoting their nationality.

Thank you for all that John Webster. I feel a lot better now.


A kill switch on the outside makes sense because sometimes, after an accident, the driver is unable to shut the engine off.

A tow hook/loop makes so much sense. I wonder why it is missing from most vehicles?


I guess the AVON tires are self explanatory.

Talk about "helmet-hair"!
