First you gotta load the thing. It can be loaded before getting on the road, but if you drive in Mass, you're sure to run into more than one of them. Second you have to take your eyes off the road to aim the thing with a periscope. This can be quite annoying when you run over your friendly cop while putting the enemy's license plate in the crosshairs. I reccomend the hood mounted variety since you can easily load it without having to stop the car (especially the bazooka since you can align it along the left fender so you can just reach out and slide the round in with one hand. Secondly the blast can be deflected. This is no problem and has been done before. Thirdy you don't have to take your eyes of the road to aim it. Just point the car and WOOOOSH!!! one fiberglass crate bites the dust. (Mind you, this is only because the crate required removal due to influences caused by its human director). Please remember to make sure that the target is off to one side before you fire lest you end up running over the remains. This can cause minor irritations, but the battle scars on the bumper would make for great conversation. Peter Barada ima!pbear!peterb PS - Drive defensively, Buy a TANK!
