Going Fast

I took an old friend fifty miles to the airport the other day. He told me before we left, he didn't think he'd ever been faster than one-hundred miles an hour.

I took care of that.

Lord, Lord, Lord knows I took care of that.

This puppy is fun to drive...fast...it doesn't settle down until about a hundred. 140 - 150 MPH is nothing.

This thing was designed to keep pace on the Auto-Bahn. This thing is a rocket!!! A stable rocket. They should have named it a Messhersmit SM-123.

There is much to be said about German engineering.

Anyway, I'm still here.

Now, somebody explain to me why the Germans I get to ride with who drive over 100 are all driving rice-burners?

I realize a Messhersmit is not a rocket, but one of 'em did shoot my uncle down. He was flying a P-51 Mustang. He survived. He spent a year as a German POW. He was treated WELL!

I'm just saying.
