It's called a Demolition Derby-basically,a bunch of
knuckle-dragging Neanderthals get together at the local dirt race track or
county fair and smash their cars together until they won't run any more-the last
running car wins a prize, usually a couple hundred bucks, a trophy and a kiss
from the local Pork Queen, Large, old American cars are the weapons of
choice, especially the Imperials, due to their structural superiority,usually
all the glass, trim, grills etc. are smashed out with a sledge hammer, or
ax prior to the event, the car's 440 , 413,or hemi is ripped out and
discarded in favor of a GM engine, the doors are welded shut, giant holes
are torched in the hood for exhaust stacks, roll cages are welded in.
Thousands of clean old cars are destroyed in this manner every year, with no end
in sight, you can usually spot these Neanderthals at any estate sale,or auction
where there are Imperials being sold, they're the ones that are drunk at 9 am,
chew tobacco, drive rusty Chevy pickups and have the letters D. E. N. T
. emblazoned on their filthy, sweaty, beer-stained t-shirts...
