I did enjoy the flame shooting bit. Every morning on my way to school I would go by my brother and his friends waiting for the school bust. I figured exactly when to stomp the accelerate to make backfire and shoot flames just as I went by them. Watching them jump was hilarious. On the other hand the morning that I was driving him to school and the breaks failed was simply terrifying Yeah it crappy quirks did make it kind of cool. I did enjoy the flame shooting bit.

Now, that method could result in the metaphorical razing of perfectly appropriate sound barriers and a few houses owned by sweet old ladies in an unsuspecting village, but most of the time, I emerge blinking from the dust to find a wide open highway, or an intersection of interesting possibilities.

The ones that allow one or two crashes to make them slam on the brakes are never truly successful.
