Smoky Yunick. If for no other reason Smoky deserves a place due to his creative use of the NASCAR rule book. His infamous black and gold number 13 Chevelle at first glance looked stock, but when sitting beside its showroom cousin revealed it to be 7/8ths size replica. When NASCAR mandated a maximum fuel tank size, Smokey noticed there was no rule about the length of the fuel line. He ran a fuel line back and forth the length of the car four times allowing his drivers to carry an extra five gallons of gas. The man was a genius, an evil genius to the NASCAR Tech inspectors, but a genius none the less.

It took me a few minutes before I could stop laughing, but it's not funny.
This is exactly what happens when controllers, elected or not, try to control people's lives with laws and rules.
Unintended consequences...
