Excellent analysis. So even on foot you are faster than the proverbial speeding RX-8. ;)

my current workout running pace is 10 minutes per mile (heart rate limited below 141, which is interminably slow when you're used to letting yourself get hammered up to 180) that's 6 miles per hour. i can currently run faster than the delivery speed on my 8. only got 3 hours left today, looks like i'll be adding 48 hours onto that estimate. then i'll quickly be adding 2 weeks on since i'll be out of town and i'm not accepting delivery until i test drive it.

I'm certain you'll be making up for the lack of speed as soon as you get it though!!! :D

It is now faster to ship Japan to LA than it is to ship LA to Tucson just in elapsed time!
