Right, but those people aren't thinking about "cars" they are thinking about personal transportation appliances, they don't even know what a "car" is, they think Camrys and Accords are cars, and I think most of us Jalops would agree that 2 door Camrys and Accords are utterly pointless, and undesirable.
Tom Cruise was born 60 miles from an internet web page? Somehow that makes sense.
If I had any musical talent AT ALL, I would start a band and name it "The Potato Chicanes"
I don't know of any series that has a 36/39 race season. Nascar has a 3 race season, Watkins Glen, Sears Point, and the boring one they repeat 33 times.
Turn on the tv on a Sunday and catch the race and a nap. Lol exactly.
A CAMRY!!!
It was the best of rides (Reliability!), it was the worst of rides (soul crushing boredom). It was the age of wisdom (Reliability!), it was the age of foolishness (Paying tens of thousands of dollars/pounds to have your soul crushed is pretty foolish), it was epoch of belief (you better believe it'll get you there), it was the epoch of incredulity, (you won't believe how bored you are when you get there). It was the season of light(beige is a pretty light color). It was the season of darkness (black interior is pretty dark). It was the spring of hope ( I hope I never have to own a camry), it was the season of despair (they're everywhere!), we had everything before us(fully loaded), we had nothing before us(we're on I70 somewhere in Kansas) we were all going direct to heaven(headed for Iowa!!), we were going direct the other way(made a wrong turn, ended up in Texas)
So, H2 Oh shit!, then?
There's more to this story, see the driver was actually her older brother and they were just reliving the old "quit hitting yourself" bit from their childhood.
Brother slams on the brakes "quit head butting the car"
hits the gas "how come your banging your head on the car"
hits the brakes again "there you go head butting the car again"...
Well, you just have to pick the right motorsport, I'm thinking dirt bike hill climbs. THOSE would be roughly 6 times as awesome as would any Dukes of Hazzard style jumping antics.
"Oh, and speaking of that— remember, the moon is 1/6th the gravity of Earth, so your 150+hp Subaru engine in your 1800 lb Baja Bug will mean you can haul a profound amount of moon-ass."
Umm, no actually, the MASS, (you know the M part of F = MA or A = F/M) is the same on the moon as it is on the earth, or floating through space. In fact you would likely be hauling significantly LESS ass because all you are gonna do is spin your wheels, because you are gonna have roughly 1/6 of the grip you would have on earth. So back to our handy equation, A = F/M, if M stays the same but F goes down then A goes down as well.
You know what I think? I think instead of wishing somebody, ANYBODY, would make a cool sequel to one of the funnest and funniest movies of all time, and being disappointed that the closest we're going to get is a lame-ish commercial, maybe we should take a hint from the movie, call in "sick", be a little crazy, have some fun, eat a nice restaurant with a snooty host, see some good art, take in a ball game, in short make your own sequel.
Here is what I'm proposing between now and Friday, every commenter here should take a day off, and create their own little version of Bueller's day off, then come in here on Friday and present the results. Pics/video or it didn't happen.
Is this COTD like Fight Club where it turns out Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are actually the same guy? This is like the Jim side of Jim Bobs brain explaining to the Bob side of Jim Bobs brain how to make soap.
I'm not sure it simplifies the programming of the calculator as much as mimics it, what it really does is eliminate the need for parenthesis.
I sort of love these things even though I'm a TI (TI92 FTW) guy myself, I'll suffer through putting in the parenthesis.
Yeah, but then the Porsche guys would be accusing the Nissan guys of using R compound spares, and pretty soon GM would be equipping Corvettes with 245 size "space saver" spares under the rationale that 245mm is still 30mm less than the regular tires. Ferrari would only let their cars run with a team of their engineers around to install their special "spare" tires. And the vintage guys would complain that all that extra grip took all the fun out of their cars.
It can't be the french discriminating against Robbie Gordon, he's such a douchebag he practically is french.
That receipt is not in American dollars, its Emirates dollars so divide by 3.5 or 4. So holy shit $6 for a diet coke.
That has to be just about the greatest name in the history of ever.
My first car was an 87 Thunderbird, loved that car right up until that jackass in the Explorer rear ended it to death. Also when I was only old enough to read about cars in magazines I was absolutely enthralled with Corvettes, especially the Callaway Corvettes and double extra especially the Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette.
So what I want to see is an 87 Callaway Sledgehammer Thunderbird, oh and just don't make it silver, I hate silver.
Even if it did cost nothing it would still be stupid. It would be like General Mills trademarking "Taste of Shit Cereal"
GM owns the rights to "chicane" wow, that is incredibly stupid. Why would you spend time and money to prevent your competitors from giving their products stupid names. If I was running GM I'd call up Mulally cause he comes from the world of planes donchaknow and I'd tell him "I'll give you a million dollars to name your next car Chicane." Just to see if he falls for it. Then I'd call up Marchionne and tell him I'd give him a million dollars to name the next Chrysler the "Indaway" I'd tell him it's an old Sioux indian word meaning a strong wind that comes from just slightly west of north-northwest on a Tuesday.
No, No, she didn't ram into that store, she didn't bump into that store, she didn't nudge that store, she "rubbed" it, and rubbin, son, is shopping.
So in North Carolina that's called shopping.
