Well kidl, I wouldn't call you a liar either. We've certainly had our differences in the past, but if you have a fault, it's that you're honest and can sometimes be blunt with your facts and opinions.

You are also kind and have helped SI Ron with his living expenses due to to his medical condition.

From what I understand, you may live outside of the U.S. and can drive on roads much better than in most places within the States, perhaps most of the world. I don't want to reveal anything you might not have shared here on SI yourself about that, I don't know and haven't searched your posts.

Well-maintained roads in countries where it's legal to drive as fast as you dare (as long as you're not reckless) tend to put drivers through rigorous driving tests before they can get a license to drive at all. Same as professional race car drivers have to learn how to drive at unreal speeds most humans would never attempt.

My absolute favorite example of that was when Top Gear (U.K.) host James May (easily the most laid-back of the three original hosts of that show) tested the Bugatti Veyron in 2014 to see if he could hit the rated top speed of 253 mph (423 km/h) in that beast. I still get overwhelmed watching it because the editing and music is so well done. Enjoy!



In any case, I've been blunt the same way on SI countless times since I joined the site, and I still am sometimes if I get irritated. But I believe you if you say you drove a friend's Tesla. I have no reason to doubt that whatsoever.

I simply don't believe you because I wasn't born yesterday and I'm not as gullible as you appear to believe.

Don't pretend you are Mr. Honest with obvious BS stories like that!
