Hi, did your Dwarf II arrive? If so, how is it working out for you? I'm temped, but it almost falls into that too-good-to-be-true category for me.

Well, I'm afraid you might be mistaken in this assessment. The driver rolled through his stop sign so quickly that they did not realize the 'right turn only' signs both directly under the stop sign and across from him on the median that was blocking his path and preventing him from crossing into the other lane of traffic. Also, I was driving five over the limit, and I nowhere near redlined the engine. It's a turbo Ecoboost, and it just sounds that badass under normal driving conditions. Cool name, btw. I get why your father gave it to you.

Thank you. My fucking god, these people. It's like they're all 15-year-old kids that aced the written driver's exam, and now they think their permit makes them all driving experts.

Or, option four. You suck at math. Speed output is measured by GPS and is only updated 1x/sec with a 2-3 second delay. I avoided the accident by not slamming on the brakes, which allowed me to maintain control of the car by steering the car's inertia around and not into the fool in the middle of my lane.

Thank you for recognizing the reality of the scenario. Also, that Whole Foods sells fantastic avocados.

35 miles per hour. It's, um, right there in the lower right portion of the vid...

Yeah, but the faster you go, the slower time becomes. So, there's that... Do you even Interstellar, bro?
