I'm just saying, if you're cruising at 6th gear, dropping to 5th to "pull away" from someone is about as exciting as Katy Perry's Super Bowl half-time show. Not very.

Try dropping to 4th, or even 3rd if you're around 50-60MPH. Much more fun.

i cruise at 75-80 haha

Please fill out the attached application and submit it along with a current bank statement and criminal background check and we will get back to you in 4 too 6weeks.

Hey T, I am thinking that if you went for "the form", you actually might not have a real daughter. I do. Here's what I say to the boyfriend on the first date, just to set a baseline:

Hi. I am the Dad. I want you to know that you have my permission to do anything you want with my daughter on this date. No problem. Have a good time!

But, just keep one thing in mind: whatever you do to her, I am going to do to you.

Somehow, I don't need "the form".

PS: have to credit Chris Rock for this!

No! I knew you grabbed that from somewhere off the net.

Just adding to the forum humor.

Glad to hear that you're a real Dad as well. We'll compare gray hairs next time I am up your way.

I've had the general, "Hey what car is that?" and such. Had one guy ask if I paid $50,000 for it. I have a sign in the back of my car that says, "You car?" in German, I like the facial expressions people give while trying to read it. That and when people go out of their way to take pictures of my car.

I need that sign!
Back in the fall just after I got my car I accidently ended up in a car show in a small town near my cottage.
After talking to a pile of people (86s and Scions in general are very rare in my neck of the woods) I go and sit on a window sill near by and this group of 4 young guys walk up to my car. The one guy starts to get way more excited then even I thought a Scion warranted. He starts telling his buddies how it is the new Porsche "Spyder" and that is what "Scion" means in German.
I was amazed to learn that my car had 600 horse, cost over $150K and was one of only 100 brought to North America! This guys was rattling off stats and facts with such confidence that even I was beginning to believe him. Apparently his day was made by getting to see such a rare supercar in person.His buddies just smiled and nodded while reading Toyota and Subaru written in about 20 places under the hood.
I never had the heart to correct him and I bet he still tells people he saw the ultra rare Porsche Spyder (Scion) in his own town.

I work at a school district so I am in and out of high schools and jr highs all the time fixing computers and I swear the number one thing every high school dude has to ask about is if my car has a turbo.. The look of disapointment on there faces every time I say no and that it is not likely to get one gets a little old the 10th time around. Then on the opposite end of the spectrum all of the girls are obsessed with how it looks and the teachers just looove reminding me of that and to "watch out"... I am 22 and still look like I am 16 so it makes work a little frustrating sometimes.. I just have to work quickly and then run and hide

Need to get a job working for colleges and then all would be good in your world!

I can't let a girl chase me down or keep up. NO MA'AM!

I have a teenage son.

I frequently tell him, "Don't put it in if you aren't prepared for what might come out".

So many possible meanings to this.
