Yeah, but the Maybach 62 is 6.2 meters long -- which is 20'4". :-)

Just messin' with you all.  The "Car Length" method of determining 
following distances is a little antiquated anyway.  In case anyone's 
teaching any new drivers, just give 'em the 3-second rule... makes much 
more sense and is a whole lot easier to gauge.  And a second is a second, 
unlike a car length. :)

  Past tense would be DID.  Words

"misunderstanding" is one word and is spelled with one "s". :)
