A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available, a brand new
Ferrari 550 that costs him $500,000. He takes it out for a spin and stops
for a red light.
An old man on a moped pulls up next to him. The old man looks over at the
sleek, shiny car and asks, "What kind a car ya'got there, sonny?"
Young man replies, "A Ferrari 550. It cost half a million dollars!"
"Whew! That's sure a lot of money, " says the old man. "Why does it cost so
much?"
"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the young
dude proudly. The moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"
"No problem," replies the owner. So the old man pokes his head in the
window and looks around. Then sitting back on his moped, the old man
says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right... but I'll just stick with my
moped!"
Just then the light changes so the guy decides to show the old man just
what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer
reads160 mph. Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to
be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly,
Whhhooooossshhh! Something whips by him, going much faster!!!!
"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?!" the young man
asks himself. He floors the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250
mph.
Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the moped.
Totally amazed that the moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it some more
gas and passes the moped at 275 mph. Whhooooossh! He's feeling pretty good
until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him again.
Astounded by the speed of the old codger, he floors the gas pedall and takes
the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.
Not ten seconds later he sees the moped bearing down on him again.
The Ferrari is flat out and there's nothing he can do. Suddenly the
mopedplows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear.
The young man jumps out, and unbelievably, the old man is still alive!!!
He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Oh my God! Is there
anything I can do for you?" The old man whispers with his dying breath,
"Unhook... my suspenders from your side-view mirror! "

! That Smiley Face looks like Godzilla after he ate Tokyo! Maybe we could convince him to eat that crappy looking X Coupe while he's at it!
