Try that over here and you loose your license (50 and over above the speed limit) for some time. The state attorny checks your record for earlier speed tickets and makes up a penalty. Most likely you will get the license back in a week or so. However, going 100% over a speedlimit? They also take your car at the spot, plus the license of course!

But we were talking shopping, is it safe to say we all do sometimes, but most don't want to talk about it?
Got a 300 gig maxtor drive in last week, bought online. Noticed yesterday it says "refurbished to maxtor specifications" on the label. Called the shop, they say it is normal to sell those as new. This would not have happened to me in a real shop, because I would have refused it right away. Like you lattesurf, if it is available downtown, I pay an extra 10 euro just to avoid that. Difference was 30 euro, however.
