	I don't drive often, but when I do, I like to drive fast.  Sometimes
	on winding, single-lane mountain roads, some turkey ahead of me will
	insist on driving at a rate somewhere in the vicinity of the speed
	limit.  What a drag.

	The best thing to do, I've found, is to drive up to within six inches
	of them, and then slam the accelerator down HARD.  You will pop a
	wheelie and your front bumper will hook onto the back bumper of the
	car in front of you.  Keep the accelerator pedal floored until you
	are up to speed, even if the car in front of you has braked and has
	its wheels locked.

I hope this is a joke, because if you try this with me, you will
find yourself in court so fast it will make your head spin (assuming
either of us survives - don't forget, estates can sue too.)
