this man OBVIOUSLY has a brain tumor, and should be operated on immediately.
now..the slamming out of the way, let me say...well..there is nothing to say.
i feel pity for you.  Anyone who is this far off base deserves my pity.  NOT

so i can see the look on your face when i pass you on the road at speed(damn
rev limiters..anyone programmed around those yet?) and see you with a
steaming hunk of mismatched plastic aerocrap in meltdown cuz you tried to
drive it like they market it!
