Somewhere in an ancient 13th century library of Franciscan texts I found a useful quotation.

"Don't drive over the speed limit"

How is self control a Mini flaw... I would say don't let your mother in your car or when she is, drive the speed limit.

Not a FLAW, it is a self control problem.

BTW if you don't like it why did you by the car in the first place. It can not be missed, so no excuse of I did not see it.

WOW! I took this as totally "tongue in cheek"! I think it was the at the end of the post that threw me off.

I'll try to be more cynical.

Oh pish posh! It's not as bad as those new honda civic digi-speedos... the numbers are so huge i can see the driver's speed from the next lane over.

Sometimes we try to see if we can match speeds with the civic driver next to us when we ever pass one!
