Ditch, I think Imus had the trucks donated. But the gas is going to kill him. I noticed the new Maserati gets 10-12 mpg. Must be all that weight. I think, without the engine, I could lift it with one hand. <G>

...465hp...can you grab the $100 bill off the dashboard accellering from 0-60?,,, speed, safety and helmets did you know: the death rate per 10,000 registered unhelmeted motorcyclists is 3.38 unhelmeted motorcyclists involved in police-reported crashes were more than twice as likely to be hospitalized for a head injury than were helmeted riders motorcycles are less stable and less visible than cars, and they have high performance capabilities - for these and other reasons, motorcycles are more likely than cars to be in crashes - and when motorcycles crash, their riders lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle, so they're more likely to be injured or killed - per mile traveled, the number of deaths on motorcycles is about 26 times the number in cars helmets are about 29 percent effective in preventing motorcycle deaths and about 67 percent effective in preventing brain injuries - an unhelmeted rider is 40 percent more likely to suffer a fatal head injury, compared with a helmeted rider Scientists from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reviewed bicycle deaths and injury data from 1984 through 1988 and found that some 1,000 people died each year from bicycle crashes. Head injury was involved in 62 percent of those deaths. Some 558,000 people sustained bicycle-associated injuries each year, and of those, 32.5 percent or 181,000 suffered head injuries. The CDC estimated that if all bicyclists had worn helmets during the five-year study period, one death could have been prevented every day and one head injury could have been prevented every four minutes be informed, ride safe this message is brought to you by a Harley country girl
