Joke: Fastest Car

A young hotshot lawyer went out and bought the fastest car in the world, the new SSC Ultimate Aero, for a cool $750,000. It was a nice day outside, so he took the car for it's first drive on the street.

As he stops at a red light, an old man on a mobility scooter rodes off the sidewalk and pulls up next to him. The man on the scooter, who had to be at least 70 years old, leaned over at the driver's side window and asked "Nice car there Sonny, what is it?"

"Why, this is the Ultimate Aero, the fastest car in the world. It has 1183 horsepower and can go 257 miles per hour!" exclaimed the cocky attorney. "And" he continued, "it cost 3/4 of a million dollars!"

"Wow," replied the old man, "mind if I take a look inside?" he asked. "Of course not," the lawyer said proudly.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back down on his mobility scooter, says, "That's a pretty fancy sportscar, all right... but I'll stick with my scooter!"

Just then, the light changes and the lawyer decides to show the old man with his car is all about. The car goes from 0-60mph in just 2.7 seconds and, before he realizes it he's doing 220mph. Looking back, he notices a small dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly, whhhoooossh! Something whips by him, going much faster!

"What in the world could be possibly be going faster than my Aero?" the young lawyer asks himself. Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot again... this time coming toward him. Whooooooossh! It flies by again, heading the opposite direction! And, it almost looked like the old man on the moped! "Couldn't be," thinks the lawyer. "How could a moped outrun an Ultimate Aero?"

Again, he sees a dot in his rear view mirror, but before he could react... Whooosh Ka-BbblaaaaMMM! It plows into the back of his car, completely demolishing the rear end. The young lawyer jumps out and, to his suprise, it's the old man on the mobility scooter!

He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Oh my God! Are you ok? Is there anything I can do for you?" The old man groans and moans, finally he replies... "Yes, unhook my suspenders from your side-view mirror!"
