I don't get it. Is "nimble as an ox" good or bad, the before or after status of fueling up with their gas?

You don't get it? Well then, you my friend, must have never driven a Datasun 280-zOx!

Runs the quarter mile in 14.9 (minutes) at 94 MPH*.

How's that for nimble?

I prefer the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy description:

I thought it was "nimble as a minx." Maybe that just applies to Gozer, when it enters our universe.
