Well, yes your right.  I was refering to "sit-down" vehicles, but I suppose
I should have said that.  If you want the top of the heap, the Boss Hoss is
*the* top of the production vehicle heap - motorcycle, car, or other.
However - it makes it very hard to conrol when trying to use all those
ponys.  The simple fact is -  the Boss Hoss isn't *heavy* enough to plant
all that power to the ground...
