Peter: that vespa can probably do 75 km/h, stock, if its got a 150cc engine in good shape. with a tuned exhaust system (or other mods) installed, you can squeeze a little more horsepower out of your average 150cc, and do a little closer to 100km/h...

JOY: I had the opportunity to visit Cabrini and the Schiller School. A group of young ladies from the school have taken pictures of the neighborhood, their homes, before they are gone.

in response to Bimbo Daycare

EvilGentleman: Nancy, Nancy, Nancy. I was not attempting to belittle you in any way, I just happened to find the name to be extremely funny, due to the very different meaning of the word "bimbo" in English. Terribly sorry if you are offended, but these things are bound to happen, in...

Nancy D'Elia: I hate to have to be the one to tell you that despite your belittling me and my business name you do have affinities with my discernment of the finer things in life - such as chocolate-covered roasted almonds and ceramic-top kitchen tables. I bought two identical to the one...

EvilGentleman: Looks like a pretty normal day of snow, fog and smog to me. You know, I never noticed the revolving restaurant on top of the Delta before. I wonder how I could have missed that? And from the style, I'm guessing it has been there for my whole life, so...
