    3 kills and what should have been a kill

    This is a copy/paste from my forum, so forget the names: Well guys, I got beat by a Honda. A stock Honda. NOW before you start harassing me, I should say I got beat by the situation, and not the car/driver. I decided to take a midnight drive tonight. Dunno why, just did. Well I came...
