    Damn. The worst thing he did was scrape off the side mirror. Hell, my better half does that just backing out of the damn driveway.


    "Honey, you see that little print there on the mirror? No, on the mirror hanging there by the wires? What's that say? Can you read that? Yeah, that's right. 'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.' So when you looked in there and saw that telephone pole as you backed out--uh, you did look, right?"

    Lather. Rinse. Repeat as needed.

    Well, if you're going to install the roll bars, might as well use 'em, right? Too right, mate!


    Reminds me of Big Daddy Garlits standing his top fueler on its noisy end in a cloud of smoke...pivoting daintily on the meats...and bringing the front down to drive back through the start line. He may have lost that race, but he sure as hell won the crowd.

    After a great entrance, Rick Wagoner demonstrated some of GM's new models to the committee. The were immediately impressed.


    "Finally, GM is making cars Americans want to buy. We stand fully committed to ensuring GM's health through this economic downturn. A failure of the company is unacceptable."

    Awesome. That looked totally intentional, due mostly because it happened twice, and the car righted itself the same way each time.

    @bmoredlj:


    If it wasn't intentional the driver is certifiable. I mean, you just get yourself back horizontal and the first thing you do is stomp on the "go" pedal?

    All of a sudden drifting seems old and busted.


    Also: Grunt file sounds like something I did in the bathroom this morning.

    That appears to be both A)Intentional and B)Controlled.


    I'm in awe... now if you'll excuse me, I need to head to the hospital to get my jaw put back in place.

    I must be getting old... this holds far less interest to me than video of a bunch of executives driving up to capitol himm in an economy car.
