   That’s awlfully fast for being in park.

   Sorta symbolic really, going fast and nowhere at the same time.

   Hrmmmm….

   (Damn you for spotting that right away! I was hoping someone was going to lecture me for speeding!)

   You went 60km. Whadda ya do, drive to Timmies and back? Back in the day, we both did the same distance just doing Battlestar Galactica takeoffs.

   Besides, I’ve never seen a mobile car that can do 200kph without being driven off a cliff.

   Oh, and Kyle, not too sure about your background, but the unwritten belief of mobile drivers everywhere is that since you don’t own the car, you have to find out “What happens if…”. It’s tied to the inate curiousity that mobile guys have. I can understand the thought chain that Muggie had: “It’s 106 miles of driving left on my shift, I’ve got a full pack of smokes, it’s dark and I’m wearing polyester: Why not throw the car into park while doing 200kph?”.

   I know in my heart of hearts, I should relegate any aspirations of driving mobile again into the same box I keep my desire to smoke or drink again.

   60km, fairly early in the shift. A typical night I drive between 200-300kms, not quite like the old days as the company I work for fields a dozen cars where we used to have three. Now after the take-over I guess we have about 20 some odd cars cruising the city, although ours are still the Impalas and the “short cars” of our new parent company are Hondas.

   As for 200km/h, certain maintenance requests pop to mind…car shuddering violently?

   Yes Kyle, sadly Greg here coined the unofficial mobile motto…”drive it like it’s stolen“, and I’ll even admit that I’ve tested a few theories while behind the wheel of striped cars, but that was when I was young and foolish, not like these days.

   Greg, as for the driving. I still like mobile, it’s too bad the pay sucks and the hours are lousy. That and the 200km commute make for a miserable 12 hour shift. Have you looked into signing on with Patrick and co?

   Sounds like a cush gig. Makes me consider relocating back out to the wet coast.

   (Calm down, I’m only kidding)

   Have you looked into signing on with Patrick and co?

   I refuse to work with Patrick, the combination of his inherent dead sexiness and his enabling of all of my bad habits(Guns, motorcycles, sushi, wearing tassled bras)just makes it impossible.

   Well, that and they only hire full timers and I’m in school full time in January(5 courses = degree by the end of 2007).

   I also have a new job, which is not only governmental in nature, but casual and has the damn spiffiest security uniforms ever. So the long and the short is that I’m already back in uniform at a slightly lower pay rate, but it will allow me to finish up the degree and then proceed onto law school. As was recently commented, it is imperitave that I attend law school: Looking at the motley cabal I belong to, it’s a given we’ll need a lawyer at some point.

   Wouldn’t you need to apply from scratch to immigrate to the promised land of guns, god and good scotch?

   Poor thing; not only do you have a metric speedometer, but it only reads to 200kph.

   I’ve heard cars described as “looking like they’re going fast just standing still”…

   (rimshot)

   …but that’s ridiculous.
