I get a lot of people asking about how fast it will go. I tell them a bit over 90, then they say "Thats too fast for a car that small".

Maybe they're concerned we'll burn up on reentry.

Not when you're trying to outrun silly questions.

Cashier at Walmart: "Excuse me, I hope you don't mind me asking, but I saw you when you came in and I was wondering; Just how does that car work?"

Not really sure how I was to answer that, but since she was finished with ringing me up, I took the receipt and said "For me, I just step on the gas and it goes. I'm not mechanically inclined enough to tell you more."

.....and yet they probably don't have a problem with riding a motorcycle on the Interstate at 70-80mph!

Now Neon, you know that all we have to do is put a "Type R" sticker on it and that's good for like 100 hp!
