Yes, I have a fast car (0-60 in 5 seconds) that will knock your ass back when I kick in the twin turbos. By the way I'm a grandma of 4 driving that car.

I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't abuse my kids, my friends or anyone else. I have one vice I enjoy, smoking. I've watched the price of a pack of cigarettes go up so much that at times I wonder why I'm being targeted for extra taxes for health issues when they don't tax candy for the making people overweight, and they don't tax alcohol that people drink so they can go drive and kill someone one. Both these have just as many devistating affects on so...
