Aren't our cars all from the '60s ?

Sorry for being a smarta** -- just couldn't resist... :>)

My car backfires all the time when deaccelerating. I feel like I'm driving a
race car from the 60s when they all did that.

Funny thing is that it runs, er ran, great, but farted a lot :) In a tunnel
it really sounds cool and everyone stays away thinking it's going to blow
up. Hey wait, that happened already :(

Pop pop pop,
Mike

Yes, I have a sick sense of humor.
