: Chock one up to the "Little old lady from Pasadena"...in a Saturn. ;)
Hehehehe! Those Saturns can be pesky. A friend of the family has
one; I was next to her at a light once, was trying to act respectable
so I took off real slow - I wasn't expecting it but she nailed the
thing the instant the light went green and jumped way out in front; I
figured if she wanted to go I'd play along. I didn't figure it was
much of a challenge so I just dropped the hammer in 2nd and lugged up
to speed, then ripped through the rest of the gears. I was a bit
dissapointed at the time it took me to get by; I was doing around 70
by the time I got a couple of car lengths ahead. Those little plastic
cars must be light. :-)
Only problem is that now she thinks she "beat me". So if we line up
again I'm going to have to do a little schoolin'. ;-)
