An old joke (and explanation of my moniker)

[turboBB]

Really liked this joke when I first heard it and given I was car crazy at the time, I took after it but shortened it to turboBB.
=============================================

After hitting pay dirt, a man goes out and buys the best car available, a 1996 Turbo BeepBeep. It is the bestest and most expensivest car in the world,
and it cost him $300,000. He takes it out for a spin and, while doing so, stops for a red light.

An old man on a moped, both looking about 90 years old, pulls up next to him. The old man looks over the sleek, shiny surface of the car and asks
"What kinda car ya got there sonny?".

The dude replies "A 1996 Turbo BeepBeep! They cost $300,000."

"Gohhhh-ly! That's a lotta money!" says the old man, shocked. "Why does it cost so much?"

"Cause this car can go up to 320 miles an hour!" states the man quite proudly.

The old man asks "Can I take a look inside?"

"Sure" replies the owner.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Leaning back on his moped, the old man says "That's a purty nice car, alright!"

Just then the light changes, so the guy decides to show the old man what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 320 mph. Suddenly, the guy notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! Suddenly, PHHHHWOOOOOOOM! Something whips by him, going 2, maybe 3 times as fast!

The guy wonders "what on earth could be going faster than my Turbo BeepBeep?" so he slams on his brakes and brings the car to a complete stop.

Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot coming toward him. PHHHHWOOOOOOOM! It goes by again! And, it almost looked like the old man on the moped! Couldn't be, thinks the guy. How could a moped outrun a Turbo BeepBeep?

Again, he sees a dot in his rearview mirror! PHHHHWOOOOOOOM! and KA-BLAMMMMM! It plows into the back of his car, demolishing the rear end.

The guy jumps out and rushes to the back and couldn't believe his eyes when he sees the old man and the moped in a heap of mess on the floor! The guy runs up to the banged up old man and says "You're hurt bad! Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man replies "Yeah sonny, can you please unhook my suspenders from the side-view mirror of your car!"
