... you know, on the one hand, friends who are trying to matchmake me with potential boyfriends is perhaps one of the greatest compliments I can get. I mean, hey, someone thinks I'm sane and worthy enough to get a potential second half. Cool.
On the other hand, I'm all "Dates? That what normal people are doing. How odd! And, umm, creepy". When my friend asked me if I want his number or should he give him mine, I pretty much replied with the subtext of "emails! Emails! No phone numbers for you!".
(Yes. I will have a date in the near future, and I'm trying oh so hard to fight the urge to do anything, including faking my own death and clinging to the walls of my room with my fingernails while wearing a chastity belt so I won't have to go through yet another 90 minutes of fake small talk).
Oh, and Happy Anniversary, Laura and DH!
Happy anniversary, Laura. Glad the kid is okay. Someone ought to teach a high school course on the Physics of Driving a Car.
Shir, comforting thoughts to your sister.
Omnis, congrats on getting the job! (Provided they don't crack your alias from that job in Tangiers...)
I had a few stupid driving incidents as a teenager, including a couple of out and out car chases, though I used doubling-back rather than speed. Luckily, never crashed.
Happy anniversary Laura! Sorry it started off so badly. That seems to be the way the day is going for many.
Shir, emails are a good way...though they can be just as filled with awkward small talk. :)

Yeah, me too. And once I decided to find out how fast my parents' Mercury Marquis with the 460 engine would go. Answer: 120 mph.
tommyrot, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln.

I found out a Subaru could do 105 sustained speed once while driving on I-70. Nonetheless, I got passed more than once.

My 2000 Focus was limited by the engine computer to 110 mph. Weird - if you tried to go faster, the engine would just cut out completely until it slowed down a bit.
I think that was because its tires were not designed for sustained high-speed driving.
