[s-cars] Mud Flap Info

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Lee,
We gotta teach ya how to go over speed bumps in style.
 The proper way is, of course, music blasting and dogs
twitching from the bass rattle, while you take the
speed bump at a 45 degree angle to avoid exhaust
hitting concrete and the subsequent groan/moan from
wife.

YMMV
