- what's the motorcyle equivalent of a "lead foot" ?! :)
- you sound very much like my younger son in regards to "take off"! :)
- I've often recommended that he take his "need for speed" to the race track 'cause he would win "hands down" / "no contest"
- "Louise" doesn't race does "she" ?!
- like I said, I hope you two have fun - but, be safe!

I'm very contented with my "4-Runner" ...
but, I'm a fan of the "muscle cars" ...
- given a choice of any car on the lot
- this is the kind of car I'd like to have ...
- a '69 Camaro!

BC, I've seen a few smart cars driving on the highway. I'd feel nervous in such a small car. My scion Xa is small and great on gas, averaging 35 mpg. I don't drive a lot, mainly to school, the stores and doctor apoointments. I fill up the tank every 2 1/2 weeks. :) Sadly my car doesn't have a name.

Just me being silly, but I wonder if we will ever have hovercraft cars like the ones in Back to the Future part 2. Or maybe we can invent ways to teleport ourselves like on Star Trek.

I agree with ya in that navigating through heavy traffic in a Smart Car could be a little un-nerving at times. Just the thought of being involved in a collision with a larger / heavier vehicle while driving one is not a good feeling at all! My supervisor is a school bus driver at heart though, so he's very aware of his surroundings while driving, and I'm confident in his ability to avoid - as much as possible - potentially dangerous situations.

Now my younger son would absolutely love the chance to drive a hovercraft! It would afford him both "speed" and "flight" - simultaneously! :)
You know I'm a "trekkie" - but, I'd need some sort of guarantee that all my "molecules" would be transported without being "re-arranged" - or possibly having some "lost in the translation"! :)

For dependability, you can't beat a Toyota - at least in my opinion! I really like the Scions! And, you definitely can't complain about that kind of gas mileage?!

Well, I think your "Aero" is "very cool" indeed Deb!
25 years old and 43 mpg - a "sporty combo" pkg I must say! :)
Are Casper and Tizzy "biker dogs" ?! :)
