The Porsche-suing-woman's case kinda makes more sense in the light of the mention of it being "tail happy", but even so, they do seem to avoid mentioning where he was when he died. I'm guessing that chances are he was driving too fast where he shouldn't have so it's his own bloody fault...
It'd be nice if they could just grasp that if people'll drive too fast in ordinary cars, then rich people are going to drive too fast in flash cars and no amount of training is going to stop that.
Well, there's even a certain degree of doubt over whether it really IS tail-happy - that guy seems like the equivalent of the Mr. Loophole lawyer who can get people off on technicalities... I'm with you on believing that it's most likely he was driving too fast (since cars don't often seem to tend to develop problems like that until you reach certain fast speeds). A fair few people do own Porsches and if it was inclined towards crashing at low speeds, we'd be hearing a lot more about it

I've always found a spot of Vics in the middle of the head is good for cats with cold type things, at the very least they run out of the room... steam inhalations (boiling hot water until the room fills with steam with or without a drop of vics/albus oil are good as well.
I never understand why cars need to be sold that go that fast. You watch top gear and they say that the car goes up to an amazing 280mph. So what? Is there any country in the world that you can drive at that speed on the open road...legally?
I'll probably try both of those, since Wei has now given her cold to Onion too. -_-; And two of our cats have runny eyes now too after getting into fights. They're walking disaster areas, I swear.
I've definitely not figured out why they make cars that do that kind of speed... So it can do 0-60 in two seconds, but it'll still take you ten minutes to get to town in a 30-zone... And technically there's no speed limit on 40% of the german autobahn (after a brief check on wikipedia, heh), but even then you'd likely be hard pushed to get up to even 200MPH on it. And short of finding a test track to rent... nope, the average owner probably wouldn't ever see past 150MPH, and would be lucky to see that.
It's just the show-off part of it, isn't it? Pretty cars owned by people with more money than sense who don't mind risking other people's lives when they drive like idiots...

Poor cat, is it just a little sick or really ill?
