It was a straight-up dragster. It had a parachute in the back. It belched flames from its open dragster exhaust. Fortunately, as it was a test and tune it wasn't technically a race, but it did look pretty silly. He was GONE.

I mean, I get that, but I just thought it'd be faster, that's all.

I don't get it... how is the Tesla a 12 second car, and the Viper, according to mags, is a 12.5 second car? My lowly, lame (manual) Mustang GT ran a 12.759 at MIR, and I am not a great driver by any means. Am I missing something? I mean, I know I ran high 12s, and these run mid-to-low 12s, but still...

I had to wait at Ft. Sill in OK for an entire damn column of tanks, self-propelled guns (you might call them Howitzers) and one of the new M777s being towed by an LMTV. Took them damn near ten minutes to finish crossing. I was not gonna yell at them. I was late to where I was going, but when I got there and was…

So what you're saying is, the Mini takes the 24 Hours of LeMons, but the Trabant takes the Index Of Effluency.

Or any sea vessel, really - though I know exactly what you're talking about (having served on an aircraft carrier). I kept waiting for that line to part. The guy is lucky the bumper came off instead.

Whatevuh, that was the only pic of my glass roof I could find fast enough that I didn't lose interest in replying at because I have a really short attention sp

I don't have a problem seeing through my roof.

We over at the SHOForum (yes, there's a SHO forum) have a game where we have to drink every time somebody claims the Yamaha 3.0L was a detuned 3.x liter destined for a corvette competitor.

Oh, how the media loves to put people up on a pedestal, then, once firmly ensconced there, blow the pedestal up.

This guy, and the guy with the train horns in his truck that goes around scaring the shit out of people. I hope they both catch bullets to the face.

Sadly, rape has been a major factor in wars and conflicts since the beginning of recorded history, and very likely far, far before that. This isn't new. It doesn't make it right, but it isn't new.

Ducts and scoops are the most God-awful thing invented for cars.

Come on, Watt. There was no need for you to stoop to their level.

I love it when people do this. It gives me a great chance to hone my PIT technique.

Ah, but there's the rub... I work nights; I don't really have a chance to surf during work - I usually get on pre- and post-work.

Well fine, we'll just have to agree to disagree (score 1 for civil internet conversation). There are only a few rules in the NFL that have zero wiggle room for interpretation, and almost all of them involve the QB (or the kicker/punter). A block in the back would seem to be somewhat subjective, as there are plenty of…

And if that somehow didn't offend you, you can take a gander at the Offended article at encyclopedia dramatica. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Fact: There is, at this very exact instant, a pair of gloves in my glovebox. That shit just happened.
