Yup, N. Dallas is the best for that. I want everyone to imagine, a
$20,000 (green) 4x4 offroad pickup truck, with slightly over sized tires
(extra 1/2") pushing a [corvette|porsche|benz] around an on ramp. Thats
right, a vehicle that I have changed the oil of with out it being on
ramps, seemingly out performing a $50k+ performance car. I do it so
often it makes me cry.


But I do agree with the other listeners post, I would much rather them going slow
in vehicles that have a short stopping distance.
