Nope.

I've spent way too many hours watching that show. I'm not sure it's something to be proud of. :lol:

I remember my mate driving with all the windows down and the sun roof open, blasting Star Trekkin from his sanyo dodgy stereo in his rotten datsun 120y.

At least he thought he was cool. (Mullet, dark glasses, moustache, he had it all going on) :lol:
