Know what you mean, two monitors and one always has a navigator tab dedicated to this site. Assistance, opinion, verification, prediction, education, and caution – all a mouse click away!

Yeah, you were a posting maniac before your family got the car! There's a lot of guys who were posting all the time when the new E came out. Don't see them here anymore.

Did you know If you are an average American, in your whole life, you will spend an average of 6 months waiting at red lights. Now not a lot of people know that

I totally agree, a brilliant forum

The proper question for drivers in the UK is, "how much time do you spend going around traffic circles?" Probably a lot less than we spend at red lights.

John,

I like “The average BMW driver spends three quarters of their time wondering if they should of bought a Benz” best, but here are some more not known to many that you can add to your list. Why do I get the feeling that you already know more than a few?

- The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as substitute for blood plasma.
- The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum.
- The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache.
- The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer.
- Walt Disney was afraid of mice.
- Pearls melt in vinegar.
- The three most valuable brand names on earth are: Marlboro, Coca-Cola and Budweiser, in that order.
- Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first US president whose name contains all the letters from the word "criminal". The second was William Jefferson Clinton.
- No word in the English language rhymes with "MONTH".
- TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.
- Go" is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…
