Subject: Sports Cars (fwd) This old man on a really old moped pulled up at a stop light and looked over to see a brand new shiny red car next to him. The driver of the new car was obviously pleased with his vehicle, so the old man asked him what kind of car it was. "It is a 1997 Lambourghini Countach. It cost me about $500,000." "Wow!", the old man exclaimed. "Why does it cost so much?" "Because it is precision engineered motor vehicle that can do over 200 mph" , the man haughtily replied. The old man then asked the driver if he could look inside the car. He then leaned in throught the passenger side window and checked out the interior. Pulling his head back out he commented on what a fine vehicle that it was. At that moment the light turned green and the young man decided that he would show the old man just what his car was made of and proceeded to zip through his 5 gears. Topping out at about 100 mph, the young man looked in his rear-view mirror and was surprised to see someone approaching very rapidly and was shocked when the old man on the moped whizzed by him. Not to have his new car outdone, he accelerated up to 150 mph and quickly repassed the old man on the moped. No sooner had he done this, however, when the old man shot past him again. So the young man sped up even more and passed the moped once again. Looking in his mirrors he saw the moped racing up on him and ran smack dab into the back of his new car! Getting out he ran towards the back and cried "I have never seen a moped go that fast before!! Are you OK?" The old man shakily replied "Yeah ,I'll be fine as soon as I unhook my suspenders from your side view mirror!"
