American Way huh?

Do you really think I am going to do it the American way my friend?
Besides doesn't matter if you use the RiceBoy Formula:

HP=(1000/Height of floorpan over ground)*Wheel Diameter*Number of Stickers

We see you already have my assed kicks

Me
HP=(1000/VW 4X4 Height)*15*2

You
HP=(1000/.02 inches)*17*4

You got me beat man.....Now if we use the REAL method

HP=Coolness of Driver

I got your ass beat.  hehehehehe
