    That would be about average if it was a 386. On the other hand, it's amazing fast for cordless phones.

    That would make my commute bearable. That's slightly faster than the 116mph top speed of my 318ti.

    I saw that earlier and was wondering the same thing. But its good to know it wont go 30 because it only goes 20.

    He "toke" it to the shop and
    they "tolled" him what?

    No child left behind, eh?

    Correct me if I am wrong but that just means it oscillates slower, but should still move at the speed of light.

    it seems that it's already got a Chumpcar/Lemons theme thanks to the cleverness of the ad.

    Dirt wasn't around before the first animals died to make it, get your timeline straight. Clay was under warranty back then :p
