Probably, it sure was quick.

Honsetly didn't have a chance to see. There was nothing besides the badges
that really stood out. But the first time around I didn't pay much
attention, and the second time around, well, it was a blur. :-)

That's what I thought, and those Sport badges looked out of place. Thanks
for confirming that.

This one was definitely _very_ quick, I wanted to flag the guy down, but
didn't want to push it that hard in dense traffic, and also, the middle aged
driver didn't look like he'd be into chatting about it.

Thanks for the good info,
