You have no tachometer but you know what RPM the engine's at by determining which interior panel is rattling.

New one I noticed. "Frickin'," especially pronounced like "frickun" or "frickon." I swear it has to be on page one of the ignorant white trash dictionary.

I caught that too...maybe he's not the father?
