My apologies for my choice of words.  Not becoming of a moderator and I shouldn't have been so harsh.  Bill and Claude have me seeing red lately.

But such annoyance pales in comparison to how annoyed I get when people make ad hominem attacks on other people rather than their statements. (It is worth noting that such attacks are not generally characteristic of BIll's postings).

Then you throw your own little jab in there by saying the DeLorean will "lose". Lose by whose definition? The D absorbed the impact and Louis was unhurt. Then he got insurance money and could have bought another DeLorean. Human life > car life. Big fat POS metal car probably 'bounced' off the DeLorean causing the occupant to bounce around like in a bumper car.
