The Fast Car!

A fellow walked into a garage to buy a second-hand car. The salesman showed him a car and gave him the usual sales talk.
“Is it a fast car?” inquired the prospective purchaser.
“Fast!” said the salesman. “If you left here at ten o’clock tonight this car would have you in Cork at two o’clock in the morning.”
The customer decided to buy the car and arranged to collect and pay for the car the following day. He returned the next day, met the salesman and said, “The deal is off.”
“What’s wrong?” asked the salesman.
“Well,” said the lad, “I stayed awake all night racking my brains and I couldn’t think of one reason why I should want to drive to Cork to get there at 2 a.m.”
