My son has one of those "rice rockets" and drives very safely, thank you. Please don't crush him or his car.

Stan Wilder replys: I use these little rice rockets that can't stand to
see a safety zone as crush cars. One of these days I'm going to crush
about three of them ...... just like in the movies. I think the ones with
the wheels extended out past the fender wells will crush the best.
