IIRC, all three cars were *stopped* and she went as soon as the
light turned green, not when traffic actually started to move.
What do you do then?  Hit the Magne-Hover swtich and instantly

I walked out to my car.  I unlocked the door, smoothly opened it and sat into 
the rich velour seat.  I buckled the belt tightly and closed the door with a
