Something large and metallic moving nearby?

Star Trek.

Downloading and installing a video codec I absolutely had to have, or the adult video link in the email wouldn't play....

Ï just bought the car two days ago.... the Tax Office hasn't sent the tax disk yet

Some of the cars had excellent sound effects - like the 787B. Others - even otherwise premium ones - sounded like trumped up hoovers sucking around the track. It makes sense for the low-end cars with economy engines or the like, but not big sportscars.

Just bought a new car, actually. It gets picked up Thursday.

TMP was pretty good.

Why can't more cars have fully digital displasys like this. Nowadays, they're cheaper than conventional analogue guages, and IMHO, look a lot cooler in a sort of Airbus Flight Deck manner.

Ultimately, the majority of us will make our final journey in the same kind of car.

747's can and have gone unintentionally supersonic in a dive. And have been landed safely afterwards. I think that may have been China Airlines Flight 006.
