Yeah,SUUUURRRE you did! One look at your signature
tells the whole story,pal. :) The "Yellow beast gets
you pulled over" because you simply "cruise home from
work"? PPFFFFFT!! I am sorry,but the DML advocates
driving responsibly within posted limits,and I am
positive everyone here does exactly that. I know I
sure do. Steve P.
