By counting the rpm’s of the tires, divided by the circumference...I think....
I can see the cops standing on the corner, heads spinning to watch the tires go around.
The above well may not have changed. : )
The rest is amazing. I can't imagine washing my hair once a month. Mine looks horrible if I let it go two days! : )
