[s-cars] Bottom Feeder?

[Bill Noland]

Yes, yes. The Spousal Barfometer is probably the second most important 
organic performance measurement tool -- right behind the Butt Dyno (no pun 
intended). Do you have a dog? If so, you also possess the Flying Fido 
Deceleratometer. Armed with these three organic measurement devices, the big 
time car mags with their sophisticated testing apparati have nothing on you. 
Just be careful how you use them -- any of the three can soil your car's 
beautiful interior.
