Wiping the tears from my eyes, 
as this so brings back a distant memory of mine. My first car a 76 Honda Civic, I was 16 it had a 3 speed stick and 4 banger engine, couldn't hear it hardly at all and couldn't afford to put a fart can on it, don't think they even had such a thing way back then but they did have boom boxes and I had one with dual cassette, am/fm and huge speakers and a microphone input jack.
You guessed it, I went to radio shack and got an all weather mic and taped it under the car near the exhaust tip and ran the wire up into the back seat and plugged it in, I was "Speed Racer" for a while. ROFL No "R Type" stickers back then so I had to fake the extra HP hahahahaha, hey I was 16 ok so eat me
Now that I think about it Ford STOLE my idea I should sue!!! LMAO

Ya, "faux" just doesn't get it with English. Maybe one of the Quebec guys will translate it to French for us. At least then it might sound sexy!
