I understand #2.

I had a short box 2006 Ram 1500 HEMI for a short while. Needed to use 4 wheel drive in the rain. It was one of the scariest vehicles I ever drove because it was uncontrollable in the rain.  Got rid of it very quickly. Funny thing is my daughter who is now 16 has never let me live it down, she loved it. At the time I had it I remember going through $175 in gas in 4 days one time.

The night before I got rid of it I let my son who was 16 at the time drive it. I figured that I owed it to him to drive a HEMI , I mean that has to be as good as sex at 16. I sat in the passenger seat when we went out at 12:30 am. At this point he only had the "learners permit" and his curfew was midnight, oh well. I tell him to hold onto the wheel very very tightly with both hands then plant it and the rear end wags while the smoke is just pour off the big meats, his arms are flailing back and forth to keep it straight, I was LMAO! He appreciated the opportunity to drive it.

The following quote has been attributed to Mark Donohue: "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower."
