El Camino Safety Tips It is important to know how to operate an El Camino safely. An El Camino can either be a loaded weapon, or a nice pony ride, depending on how you deal with it. In my short experience with the El Camino I've learned some valuable lessons. I've compiled a few of them for you here. Click thumbnails for larger illustrations. Religious Articles - Essential elements of the interior of any El Camino are the religious articles. It's a good idea to adorn your dash/rearview with at least one Catholic symbol. I have found that a Virgin Mary and Glow-in-the-dark Rosary are a good combination. Disco ball/fuzzy dice optional. Wear a Helmet - The El Camino does not come equipped with all the safety features of spiffy new cars, like airbags, anti-lock brakes...or even seat belts. That's why it's important that El Camino drivers and passengers wear helmets at all times when operating an El Camino, particularly when drag racing. Goggles optional. Use The Club™ - If you don't use The Club, your chariot will get stolen, it's as simple as that. The Club also doubles as theft insurance because they will give you $500 if your car gets stolen while The Club is in use. For an El Camino owner, that almost pays for the car. The Middle Finger - Know what a middle finger is and know how to use it. Sometimes just driving an El Camino isn't enough - if there's ever any doubt, this gesture will show that you mean business.
