Here's the story:

My friend gets in his SVX-powered Vanagon (245 HP) and nails it in second
gear.  Before he knows it he's clocked by a motorcycle cop.  The cop pulls
him over and the conversation goes something like this:

Cop:  Sir, do you know why I'm pulling you over?
Him:  I think so.  I was speeding.
Cop:  Do you know how fast you were going?
Him:  I don't know, but I was getting it pretty good. (We're in Alabama
here)
Cop:  I clocked you doing 55 Mph in a 25 zone.
Him:  Really?
Cop:  You really weren't going 55, were you?
Him:  Sir, honestly, I don't know.
Cop:  My Father used to have one of these and I know there's no way in hell
they can get to 55 Mph in less than one block.
Him:  Realy?  Yeah, they are pretty slow.
Cop:  I tell you what (shaking his head).  There has got to be something
wrong with my radar gun, so I'll make you a deal.  You slow down, I'll go
get my radar gun calibrated, and we'll pretend this never happened.
Him:  Sounds like a great deal to me.  Thanks.
Cop:  (handing back his license)  Have a good night, sir.

Isn't that great! ;-)  I need an SVX engine with a 5-speed transmission...
DAMN!
