I finally broke down yesterday and went out to buy the best car on the market, a brand new Ferrari Enzo. It is one of the most expensive cars in the world, and
it costs me nearly $500,000. So I take it out for a spin and stop at a red
light.

An old man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to
me. The old man looks over at the sleek, shiny car and asks, "What kind
of car ya' got there sonny?"

I courtesly reply, "A Ferrari Enzo. It cost half a million
dollars!"

"That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so
much?"

"Because this car can do up to 220 miles an hour!" I say proudly.

The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"

"No problem," I reply.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then,
sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice
car, all right...but I'll stick with my Moped!"

Just then the light changes, so I decide to show the old man
just what his car can do... I floor it, and within 30 seconds, the
speedometer reads 160 mph. ...but Suddenly, I notice a dot in his rear
view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! I slow down to see what it
could be and suddenly WHHHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH! Something whips by my car,
going much faster! "What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?"
I ask myself.

I didn't want to lose to a flyby, so I floor the accelerator and take the Ferrari up to 180 mph. Then, up ahead, I see that it's the old man on the Moped! Amazed
that the Moped could pass my Ferrari, I give it more gas and pass
the moped at 200 mph. WHOOOOOOOSHHHHH! I'm feeling pretty good until I
look in my mirror and see the old man gaining on me AGAIN!
Astounded by the speed of this old guy, I floor the gas pedal and take the
Ferrari all the way up to 220 mph. Not ten seconds later, I see
the Moped bearing down on me again! The Ferrari is flat out, and
there's nothing I can do!

Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of my Ferrari, demolishing
the rear end. I quickly stop and jump out and unbelievably the
old man is still alive!!?? I run up to the mangled old man and say,
"Oh My! Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man whispers..."Unhook...my...suspenders...from...your ...side-view.......mirror"

Oh that was funny as hell.
777Whity will soon jumping in claiming the Moped is faster than the Enzo while Steve C will give one of his scientific explanations to make it a fact.
Probably the old man was the one in Steve C avatar
The world may never know!

Enzo can do 160mph in less than 20sec.



Pretty strong suspenders.
