I hope you mean the car, because Mate is doing a pretty good job.

Damn. Responded to the one thats getting removed. I'll move my post, so as not to waste  a perfectly good joke and hope no one noticed.

"Area Man Begins Pot Fueled Rampage, But Stops After Seeing Spider Spinning Web And Watches It For 90 Minutes Before Going Inside To Tell His Flatmate How Nature Is Awesome"

Gotta agree with Jeebus here, although I don't think thats putting it the best way. Many a time I have been ripped off my tits, and then had to pull myself together (to talk to the police, for instance). Any time I've tried to do that while drunk(as in very drunk) has resulted in vomit, falling over and/or arrest.…

"Area Man on Pot-Fueled Rampage" said no headline, ever.

They allow people to drink too. Empirical evidence suggests that weed does far less physical harm to a person, and the societal harm is the tiniest fraction of that done by alcohol. Arguements against pot tend to be based on knee-jerk reactions and years of conditioning to believe that all drugs are bad. Truth is,…

Yeah, that was one of those things that looked great, and worked in theory, but many owners found it difficult to clean, and it wasn't quite a stainless as it should have been. Some dealers had such a hard time shifting them, they blamed it on the single choice of finish, so you ended up with monstrosities like this.

Its all kinds of fail, and I'm guilty of looking at it through rose-tinted glasses, but you only need to look at what the new DMC is doing with these to see what potential they've got.

You're right, I'm just defending it. I guess I've idolised this thing to the point where I see what it should have been, rather than what it was. Thats why I love what these guys are doing:

Are you trolling for antipodeans? We take digs at our Monaro very seriously. This was a great looking car till Pontiac put that snout on it.

Colin Chapman had a hand in the chassis design, so it actually handled pretty well. Large parts of its design were innovative, but the execution was poor (one hydraulic strut to hold up the massive, heavy doors, for instance). Little things were overlooked, like the tiny windows and poor air-conditioning that…

Nope, it arrived! More DeLoreans = better.

Just came to post the same thing, but Nibblesed at the post.

Delorean DMC-12. A casualty of mismanagement, questionable engine choice and polarising design.

One of my mates swears black and blue that his Laguna Seca lap times on GT2 are better by up to 10s when he's out of his gourd compared to when he hasn't smoked. I have a suspicion that video game designers know their market so well that they are designed to be played while high. Possibly irrelevant, just thought I'd…

Aaah, the old "spliff 'n' skids". High school was fun. While at university, the MO was usually drive somewhere beautiful, then smoke a big spliff while admiring the sea/mountain/trees/sky/river/lake/zoo animals and talking rubbish, then driving home when we were done. We were usually fine by then, and a good time was…

I'm not saying its a good idea, just that for a lot of people tokeing and driving isn't a problem. I remember seeing tests like this done in New Zealand (admittedly, at home the pot is stronger, and more of us smoke it regularly) and the conclusion was that it wasn't detrimental to most people's abilities, in fact it…

Cheers mate. There are a lot of us out there, but this debate stirs up so many busy-bodies. Solidarity!

I'm not advocating driving under the influence of anything, but between the ages of 18 and 24, I did a large percentage of my driving stoned. Never had an accident or even came close. I did most of my open road driving with a spliff either in my hand or in the ash-tray. My only accident was when I was stone-cold sober…
