80 is perfectly legal in the US, if you are British. Your average cop clocks the accent, the weird driving licence and poor dental hygiene and decides that it just isn't worth the hassle.
This idea that your primary function in society is to make other people richer (because this is what you're doing when you work harder for the same pay) is distinctly North American. Europeans don't look down on us because they think we're inherently inferior, they look down on us because we go around with "sucker" written on our heads, and let a small, elite minority take advantage of us.
Not feeling inadequate at all, because by the time he discovers/. (probably just after he invents a flying car), I'll be able to mock his oh-so-high UID.

As Harry Lime said:
Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly.
And in 1903, Albert Einstein's job at the Swiss Patent Office was made permanent. This just goes to show how bad Patents are, if someone like Einstein can't even work out whether the country HAS patents.
SlashDot is up to almost a million for uid. Statistically, there's got to be at least 10 user's that are/were married at some point in their lives. Hell, I'll go out on a limb and say 15.
I'm married. To a real girl too. AND she's a nerd. And my UID is well over a million. Are there really nearly 14 more of us?

How on earth could you restrict Top Gear in US to just the 49 states that aren't Alabama? They weren't very popular there...

You don't have to tell us. Nobody here reads the articles or the summaries. Hell, we barely read the comments they're responding to.
It looks like you didn't even read the comment that you were writing.

s/North American/British and it still works too.
That'll never work. Where's the ???? bit?
