Subject:      Garbage email  and acceleration

I've moved my subscription off of my AOL account so as to try and contain those 'orrible subject lines my AOL client was causing. Hopefully this one should have cleaner subject lines (but the same old muddled content.)

(Those corresponding to me in p-mail should know that my AOL account is still live and valid...only my subscription has moved.)

As to the acceleration topic of hot discussion, I was curious with my Tiico (and large tires/wheels) how fast I (don't) accelerate in the GoldBrick.

I didn't time it scientifically. I didn't do it from a standing start. But my time from 30-60 mph was on the order of 30 seconds. Sigh. Not a vehicle for the Stop Light drag circuit, I'm afraid. On the other paw, just about ANY of my other vehicles is good for the Stop Light drag circuit...though I only participate in that activity when I'm driving the Lotus and only when a Corvette or M3 pulls up next to me.

Hey, THEY started it!
