The part about the turn signal and projectile is true. As for cruising speed, Steve is the little old man from Massachusetts!
Bill, Steve will advance to the "Vintage club" before long. With that stereo system in his "S" it won't be long before he will no longer hear his turn signal either.His next mod may just be an amp to make the turn signal louder!

The low-decibel clicking of the TS verges on BS

Fruitland Park, FL to Berkeley Springs, WV - 906.54 miles & 15.50 hours. I'm going to look for a wormhole to shave that time down.

I'm trying Captain, but the wormhole is just too big. You'll have to leave the car behind.

Yeah, I'm an old Fart. I'm the guy that drove 9,274.2 miles around the country last April. As much of the time as possible with the top down. Snow and rain prevented the top being down in Arizona and New Mexico. But next year I don't know if I will be able to take a month vacation. At least not at one stretch.
