[s-cars] RE: Be ready !!!!!

DSL is like the standard K24 turbo--minimal lag but a strained top
end.  Cable is more like a K26 or even a K27--great top end--when you get
there.  Unfortunately, by the time I get to it thru the encryped WiFi
waves, it's like wheezing thru the puny K03 on a 1.8t.  Now, if I could
find the coin for a DS3 link...that'd be like exhaust port fueling a K29... ;)

geez...what the he** did I just write?
