If you even own a car in Iran, you're probably in the top 5 race
drivers in the country.

You americans have not the slightest clue about what is left and right.
Politically, that is. The only people claiming otherwise are americans. Period.

But Steve:
Is she really sitting too close to the wheel? I have heard that a racing car
driver need a good elbow angle (90) to get the agility and speed needed for a
racing car...

And, since she is not wearing a helmet, maybe she took it off and put on the
burka prior to the photo session? What do I know. A burka may even be very
comfortable under a helemt... I would *think* that even moslems have the common
sense to protect their head when racing. ;-)

And, finally, what's wrong in racing a Lincoln LS? I am positively *sure* racing
a racing specced Lincoln on the limit is huge fun, and I would do it without
even thinking about the wage. Hehehe

You can't decide what should be talked over and what should not, you know.
Freedom of speech, you know. One of the things we praise, if not worship in the
west.

And what happens if everybody says the same thing, because the owners tell them
to? What is the freedom of speech worth then?

We're trying that approach here in the US now, I'll get back to you on
how it works out.
