LOL! I almost said the same thing. Take a leak and dump before you get in. Oh, and tell your GF her implants aren't allowed in your car either.

Because he wants to go as fast a possible in a straight line, on a given day, given his extant weight. Fewer auto pounds can win races regardless of one's weight.
Remvoig the spare tires and changing to lightweight rims with non rf tires is the best solution and the only one to really loose some weight. Other than that....less burgers
Not to mention that it will be better for your health AND you'll make your bimmer proud

Take a crap before you drive. 
That ought to knock the weight down a pound or two, depending on what you had for dinner.

Hey Octee - if you ever see this guy driving around naked, do us a favor and don't take a shot of it since you're the star of the sightings thread. that's one post we don't need to see!

Yeah znod but woldn't it be more easy to let off some burgers then to throw away the car floor mats, trunk floor, cds and manual, spare tire or whatever?! Even for drag racing...i dunno i'm just wondering!
