I do the excessive revving and probably the rice bounce considering the condition of my suspension.

I was in the passenger seat in my friends 1972 Charger once. We were on our way to pick up a friend when we stopped at a red light on 7th street, South Beach. (I'm fairly sure it was 7th street) And then this guy starts revving his Toyota Camry. His was tuned, you could hear it. It was red with a black hood. We already had our windows down, he asks "What you got under there, pal?" me and my friend both laugh and my friend says "More than you can handle" and this guy says "I'll race you".
The light goes green and we are away with a lot of tire spin and a V8 roar. We easily out run him when our tires stops to spin. After we pull up beside him my friend says "You know my friend, muscle beats import every time" (quote from Fast & Furious just to annoy him) he doesn't say anything he just sits there.
That was fun. It's interesting to see all your stories, fellas.

I was at a gas station and some teen girl with a Chevy truck and her boyfriend had the truck smoking like a powerplant. I heard while walking in the girl say something like "I didn't know you had to put a cooling... er... um... substance... in your car in winter?" 
On top of that, the boyfriend stuck his hand in the engine bay!
And yet on top of those, the snow was completely covering the license plate, which is punishable by law here.
And even on top of those, she is the driver, and stops, blocking the only exit, so the guy can get some help.
They stop by a lady whose fueling the car up while the car is turned on,pretty much pleading for disaster.

I'm reading about someone who doesn't know much about operating a vehicle, not a radically immature enthusiast. What is this?

I was coming home from a car show one day in my '96 Honda Civic DX. Its nothing special. It has 16 inch rims and custom head and tail lights with an after market moon roof. But anyway, I was pulling out of the parking lot with my dad and little brother and a beat up Honda accord with bright red rims and a fart cannon and a early nineties Civic hatchback pulled out behind me and came up next to me at the next light. At this point in time I had just gotten my permit and was still just trying to get a feel for driving. But knowing that my dad told me to step on it because they were revving their engines and looking our way with stupid smirks on their faces. The light turned green and I put it to the floor and watched as the 2 cars next to me struggled to pull away even with my car loaded down with 3 people. They turned off at the next road and I saw that the Civic ha an SiR sticker on the back and even to this day I still think It's Funny.

What would it be at 90, since that's what the powers that be have decided Alaska's premium gas should be?

There are 12:1 engines driving around such as Mitsubishi's 4G93 that run on 95 RON from the factory. And that's a motor that went into hatchbacks and minivans

You can run 87 pretty comfortably on 10:1 so probably 10.5 on 90

HA you guys get less octane than us in the SW LOL. We get 91.

I know, and it's incredibly irritating. As far as I know, factory-standard cars requiring more than 87 but less than 91 octane are incredibly few and far between, so we're one measly little octane short. If you're knocking or experienceing reduced horsepower on 90, your only choice is to mix it with mind-blowingly expensive and possibly not street legal race gas, available at precious few sources in this state, or use dodgy and also-not-usually-street-legal octane boosters. And it's not like a requirement for premium is the exclusive domain of sports cars anymore either, nor does Alaska still consist entirely of potholed dirt roads no sports car could ever traverse. Whoever set 90 as the legal minimum here was a troll. From a certain point of view 90 octane gas is almost as pointless as that 88.5 octane "blend" gas. Seriously, who buys that stuff?

Me and the wife buy 88 all the time. Her car recommends 91 but can run on 88 no problem so we don't spend the extra. I am pulling the timing down on the cobra so I can run 88 as well.

Few days ago, my idiot driver friend tried to convince me that his Yellow stitched up (seriously. If you ever saw the front of it it would look like Frankenstien's monster) EG Civic had a "JDM" Shift Knob.
I found out that it was a yellow painted PVC pipe.
