[Spridgets] is your mechanic a hoon?

[HealeyRick]

Take a young guy, an exotic car and a reason to take c test drive.  What could
possibly go wrong.  Lot of these stories in the news lately.  Here's two from
this side of the pond:

This one even has self-incriminating videos of Lambos on Youtube:

And this is what happens when you bring your Boxster to the local Shell
station for repairs:

To paraphrase Frank, "Drive it like you're a mechanic."

Hoon is a derogatory term used in Australia and New Zealand to refer to a
younger person who engages in loutish, anti-social behavior.

In particular, it is used to refer to one who drives in a manner which is
anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, that is, fast, noisily
or dangerously. While generally applied to automobiles and other road
vehicles, anti-hooning legislation also targets hooning behavior wherever it
occurs, including motor boats.

Hoon activities can include speeding, burnouts, doughnuts or screeching
tires. Those commonly identified as being involved in "hooning" or street
racing are young, predominantly male although increasingly female drivers in
the age range of 17 and 35 years.
