Teacher Gets Stolen Car Back, All Souped Up

Police found Amanda Pogany's stolen 1996 Honda in a chop shop and were able to return it to her. While in the custody of the thieves, the car got a few upgrades, including a new V-8 engine, manual transmission, leather interior, tinted windows, and oversize tires. Unfortunately Amanda won't be able to play The Fast and the Furious around the neighborhood with her new souped up car. She doesn't know how to drive a stick.

    Cry me a river! Everyone talks about banning this and banning that. How about you just grow up and accept that people in a civilized world have different interests and hobbies. Why should we allow the few irresponsible to punish it for the rest of us law abiding citizens?

    You want that 10K watt system? Turn is way down in residential areas. Want that 600+ HP engine crammed in a pocket rocket? Sure, but leave the racing at the track. Want aftermarket mufflers? Be tasteful about it. Unlike you Mr AC, we don't all want to live in a lock-step with each other and drive cookie-cutter bland vehicles. What we want, IS TO ENJOY LIFE and not be under the thumb of a bunch of busy-body-nanny-nosy people.
