this fucking sucks. jesus christ on a crutch.
well, that video is a bit of Chicago pride that the IOC can't take away.

@Tracy Ham and Eggs: Son?
@Flathead Smith Prefers the Days of Danger: not only that, but the insurance needed just to bring risk in line with the other investment options... insurance over 20 years, increasing in cost as the value of the car increased. that doesn't even account for the inherent risk in valuing the 20 year residual value of a…
@DennyCraneDennyCraneDennyCrane: +1 for Orlando
