The DeLorean is a very ugly car in my opinion, but spend the money however you wish. What we say won't impact your decision anyways.

Have any of you lost to a ricer before? I personally have not met anyone with real power under the hood, but you never know. Most of those ricer cars you see around are just for show and they do it just to impress their friends or other ricers.

I know a few people who had a great general working knowledge of Spanish after approximately 200hrs of study. A very fluid language.

Fart Spray Smell Remover

One of my friends played a prank on me by spraying fart spray on my office chair. The problem is that the smell is still pretty strong. I have waited about two days and the smell is going away slowly, but is there anyway to get rid of the smell now?
