    I've noticed a few new guys asking if a maverick or comet is fast car. So I thought I'd let the forum decide. Are Maverick's and Comet's fast cars and how fast is yours.

    I have made passengers beg for mercy. Of course, it was my 85-yr old grandmother :rofl2:

    My wife begs for mercy too..."Please, put me out of my misery and PAINT this damned thing!"
