3 mil?!

If I had that kind of money laying around, I'd rather pick up an McLaren F1 and maybe a Tesla Roadster... then pocket the cash to pay for speeding tickets and lawyer fees!

I closed it by clicking the X on the top right instead of from the taskbar and got a viscious cycle of opening windows that I couldn't close via either method and crashed the puter.... good gawd I hope I didn't pick up a nice little virus for the whole Shell network! lol

And dries the tank in 9 minutes??? holy cow!

Nice. I think I might still go w/ the Veyron though given that they have the bugs worked out and save a couple mil. I'm sure I'll have to worry about that real soon.
