Yeah man. My mother used to drive a 'Vette ... a Che-vette. I could accelerate quicker on my bicycle, though her top speed was a little higher. (hey! it is new!) me for post whoring. Besides, Mystour sounds like a frenchman with a speach impediment. Last edited by TourDeForce; 09/19/03 04:45 PM. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
