See, normal kids try to hide their wounds, and learn how to treat
 lacerations at emergency wards through experience. Either that, or
 we'd just wee on it.  Oh, and when we puke our guts out, we *lock*
 the door to the washroom.

Plus or minus 15%, five times of an hundered....

Well, I get 50 M/G. So I couldn't divot the dirt much if I *was* at
 full throttle. It only promises 63HP out of the factory. Four wheel
 drive too though! That sure comes in handy on the rain or snow.

You know, the automatic version can reverse at full forward speed!

You can visit Montana any time you want. (-|{

You know, it's just about time that we see another aluminium clad
composite sports car for the masses. I read longingly at the MR2 II
turbo. Supposed to be some power::weight to contend with there!

BTW, D'ya know much about the SHO Kawasaki  engine?
