> The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!"

> The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"
> "No problem," replies the doctor.

> Astounded by the speed of his old guy, he floors the gas pedal and

> Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again!
> The Ferrari is flat out, and there's nothing more he can do!
