Gordon, tsk, tsk,
        10/10ths on the street?  Jenks would not be pleased!  <grin>

(the "tenths" scale was formalized by Denis Jenkinson- basically, 10/10
is that hairy moment right before you crash, when you have no real
control but save it anyway, and found you've just gone faster than is
physically possible.  Pushing the envelope by going over the edge. 
Berzerker mode, if you will.  8/10ths was really his limit for
controlled driving...)
