@Side Euler: Don't read a post that's clearly labeled as a spoiler, with the spoiler itself posted UNDER the cut, oh Master of Ass Monkeys.

In Alaska, the only way to drive is drunk.

@drift240: +1!

I grew up riding around in the back of mom's '73 Buick Estate Wagon. This thing had a big enough greenhouse to enclose the Biodome. It also had a utterly mammoth 455 with a 4-bbl carburetor that would swallow that Toyota whole.

@BullManUGA: You get no argument from me there! Turns 3, 10, even driver's right on 9, all kinda' party atmosphere.

@drift240: I'm not on the clock, so I'm not splitting hairs. Yes, it was a specially-prepared semi. And yes, it was painted up in Tonka livery. So, you're right, I'm right, and none of it means shit :)

@Ian Glenn: Yes, we know - and that's what's wrong.

@TheSandyClam: As of this hour, Gentilozzi's RSR Jag was the FIRST car to drop out of the Intercontinental Le Mans Championship race at Zhuhai, China (going on as I type this). The mighty Jag lasted a full ten laps (ten, count 'em!) — racing for about as long as it's taking me to write this — before puking its guts…

@TheSandyClam: Boris won in Trans Am when Trans Am was owned/controlled by Paul Gentilozzi. Boris and Paul ***HATE*** each other. I don't mean a racer's rivalry, I mean outright disgust for one another. Boris referred to Paul and his two sons as "Saddam, Uday, and Qusay."

@LFOT: Boris has personality. The Stig... does not.

You forgot "raced a giant Tonka truck a few years ago at Road Atlanta." Sure, it was just an exhibition, but the man races EVERYTHING.

@ruthless013: +1!

*sigh* Talladega is about speed, not cheap-effect stills. Seriously, I do better work than this in Picasa.

@jeepfreak: I was never much a fan of the Fusion - and I've NEVER liked hybrids, not one bit.

@zeeboid: Sarah Palin isn't running for office. The last time she did that, she got clobbered - and quit her job as Alaska's Governor, because the speaking engagements were a lot more profitable.

@Big_Noise_From_Winnetka: You haven't bothered with an American car since a '86 Sunbird?

@JamesC90: Fussy, fussy...

@FordTuffMcgruff: Dude, what's wrong with you? FEAR, dammit! FEAR FEAR FEAR!!!!

@SaintTJ: Why not just lock your kid up and throw away the key until he (or she) turns 30?

I've only worked with DOD-issue fingerprint scanners for the last 4 years, installing new ones, replacing old ones, and generally responding to complaints about how goddamn awful they are in the field.
