One of the things that I have found quite entertaining is to mix a small bit of
LSD in with the sugar. Then the lights are not only brighter, but are
multi-colored. Great fun for a weekend evening drive. Only drawback is that the
hamster will occasionally flashback, and you will experience odd colorations
during your evening commute home.

Now this is simply not true. Everyone knows that white reflects energy, while
the darker red absorbs it. The red car is just heavier, that's all.
