Joel Schotz, an autocross buddy (and father of the 1997 G-Stock National
Champion, Dave Schotz!), relayed the following exchange between him and the
salesman while he was test-driving the Mazda MX-6 he bought:

Salesman:       "Don't you think you're going a bit too fast?"

Joel:           "No, I'm planning to race the car and need to see how well
it performs."

Salesman:       "Do you ever win?"

Joel:           "No ... I tend to crash a lot."

Salesman:       <gulp>

Mind you, this exchange took place at 110mph on the curving overpass from
SR101 South to US60 West...  :^)
