Yeah if planes were zipping dangerously between traffic of course but you
obviouisly wouldn't mind that except they are travelling faster than you so
you'd have to beat them.

Crikey! What's the world - or Oz - coming to?
http://au.news.yahoo.com/061206/2/11ohv.html
"Toyota's locally-built Aurion V6 has been named Australia's best large car,
with the new VE Holden Commodore finishing third in the awards presented by the
nation's combined motoring clubs.
(snips)
Runner-up to the Aurion in the large car category was the Mitsubishi 380 while
the VE Commodore managed only third."
Pity for Mitsee that buyers don't see it that way.

Mind you a 944 turbo is a fair bit more expensive than the RX7 IV. A
quick check of carsales.com shows 2 1987 944 turbos at $19 990 and $23
00. For that price you are looking at a Series 6 RX7.
Certainly a better car > than a 200SX. 928 isn't my kinda car, but I'd probably look at a

Why should we, you mewling idiot? Lanesplitting is not only legal in many
places, but is actually encouraged by the wiser authorities because it cuts
down on traffic congestion and is also safer for the motorcyclist.
What you're really displaying here is the good old "Dog in the manger"
attitude, I.E. "I don't want anybody else getting through traffic any faster
than I can". (Boy, I'll bet people in airplanes, *really* piss you off!)
But there's an easy solution to your snit: just go out and buy a motorcycle.
Then *you* can fit into spaces where a car can't, and nobody will be getting
through congested traffic any faster than you are!

If I drink 2 glasses of wine in a 3 hour period will that put me over the
legal limit ?
I know with beer its 2 in the first hours, then one every hour to keep safe,
but what about wine ??
Thanks.
