Corvette v. Moped

An elderly man on a moped pulls up next to a doctor at a streetlight.  The old man looks over at the sleek, shiny car and asks, “What kind of car ya got there, sonny?”

The doctor replies, “A Corvette.  It cost over a hundred thousand dollars.”

“That’s a lot of money,” says the old man.  “Why does it cost so much?”

“Because this car can do over 200 miles an hour!” states the doctor proudly.

The Moped driver asks, “Mind if I take a look inside?”

“No problem,” replies the doctor.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around.  Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, “That’s a pretty nice car, all right, but I’ll stick with my Moped.”

Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 140 mph.

Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror.  It seems to be getting closer, and suddenly WHOOOOSSSHHH!  Something whips by him going much faster.

“What on earth could be going faster than my Corvette?” the doctor asks himself.  He presses harder on the accelerator and takes the Corvette up to 160 mph.  Then, up ahead of him, He sees that it’s the old man on the Moped.

Amazed that the Moped could pass his Corvette, he gives it more gas and passes the Moped at 180 mph and he’s feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him again.  He floors the gas pedal and takes the Corvette all the way up to 200 mph.

Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again.  The Corvette is flat out; the V-8 is screaming; there’s nothing he can do.  The Moped plows into the back of his Corvette, demolishing the rear end.
