...about as convincingly as Elon selling the "Cyber truck." :D

Also - Cyber Truck? Did we raid the AOL-Time Warner files for that shit? Maybe he found that name on Lycos...or perhaps he asked Jeeves.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

That's what I was thinkin'!

*warning* Fixin' to carbon-date myself here: I remember when Prodigy added the American Airlines reservation system (EasySabre). It was a dark day for travel agents, but MAN it beat having to look up flights in the published routes book (and having to pay your travel agent)...

Fun fact, AOL tripled it's member count because Prodigy was dumb enough to sell them ad space in the early 90s as AOL was getting it's start :roll:

Random pointless fact #1, I signed up for AOL and canceled before being billed because I thought it was too useless. A month later a friend got me a job in AOL tech support.

Random pointless fact #2, I went by CyberGnat on AOL in the mid 90s until I was able to meet the right person that could get me the gnat screen name.

“Piping up” for my chance to win some sweet swag. Just put these FVD tips on. I like them and they were cheap relative to normal P car add-ons.
