2. Started a post that made him look like a fool as a joke.....why bother with the picture and the post at all....it's not really that funny.


My money is on option #1

Yeah I'd be more concerned about a car that I cant park in my drive way than I would be about a battery in the trunk of a performance car.

On a side note I went to the drag strip awhile back and the guys running the tech lane asked where my battery was and I jokingly told him the car didn't have one. He looked at me with a confused face said "oh that's strange" and started to sign off on my tech card. I laughed and told him I was joking that it was in the trunk. I think I offended him because I then had to pop the trunk and show him the battery. He then told me I couldn't run because I did not have a power switch on the rear of the car. I had to explain to him that the rule he was referring to applied to cars that had the battery relocated to the trunk and not mine since it was in the stock location. He didn't believe me (but earlier he believed that the car didn't have a battery) and had to get a second opinion from the other guy doing the tech inspections. That guy confirmed what I said and I was good to go.
