Go to Pennsylvania, find a narrow 2 lane road up and down a steep mountain - the kind that has 7-8% downgrades for a couple of miles (like the approach to Scranton) and a 35mph speed limit. Even a lard bucket like me was able to hit 55 mph (timed by our support truck).

That's my point. If they've always fudged the stats downward, you can still get a (semi) valid trend by comparing year to year.

You can outrun a cop car, sure. But you can't outrun his radio.

I'm still waiting for "gypsies" to make a comeback.

From all accounts, Saudis are terrible, terrible drivers, perfectly capable of flipping a car while driving in a straight line down a superhighway.

Thanks for chiming in. I'd hate to see the guy get nailed because he wanted to protect his ride.

One problem is that Michigan may be an "all party consent" state when it comes to taping. Or not; there are conflicting precedents. Glad this guy got a lawyer.

Mental illness seems to run in families, though (if mine is anything to go by), so maybe they really didn't notice because they were wrapped up in their own issues.

Yes, it will baby. The Aston reps at the New York Auto show said they could install child seat anchors on the parcel shelf in the back.

Are you quoting Jean Sheppard?

That's why they were so big - to hold a VHS tape.

Exactly - the lead photo could've been better chosen.

Didn't Connery actually drive Fords in the movies with US settings?

The French aren't far behind.

Good points.
