Cars like yours burn oil and release CO2. An irreverible process that ruins
this planet.

I no longer have a need for "blowing anyone off the road". Any "reserve power"
would just be a waste of waste of potential payload.

 RW>>> Chicken.

Gluck gluck...

 RW> Chicken.

Gluck gluck...

 RW>  wallah,

Wallah? Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

 RW>  you have;

 RW> Chicken... cluck, cluck, cluck.

Sort of makes you feel at home doesn't it?

 RW> Chicken... cluck, cluck, cluck.

Keep on practising pushing that button. You almost got it right this time.
