- Hmm, as I remember it, the Impala was a Chevy, not a Dodge.

- ObRec.HumorThing: Near my house, on County route 522 in New Jersey (in case
- anyone's familiar with it), there's a sign: SPEED LIMIT 40. A short distance
- later, there's a REDUCED SPEED AHEAD sign, followed by a sign which reads END
- 40 MILE SPEED. About 1/2 mile past that, is SPEED LIMIT 40.
-
- I know it's not a joke, but this is rec.HUMOR, and I found that humorous in a
- dumb sort of way.
