The rich don't quite get it. Shrink the income gap and people won't hate you. Then you can drive whatever you want. #rollsroycephantom

The guy who drove him to the hospital said that when the ER staff removed his pants, there was blood everywhere. Apparently, the stain-resistant treatment on the pants did an excellent job of keeping the mess from showing.
So, yeah, the damage on the inside might not be apparent by looking at the outside. #rollsroycephantom

This guy and another co-worker were otherwise alone in a next-door building used for long-term storage. While they were waiting for a truck to arrive, the co-worker bet him a dollar or two that he couldn't climb a roof support pole all the way to the top. He was able to reach the goal, then slid down, fireman-style.
Unfortunately, on the way up, he neglected to notice the pole had a hook for hanging a fire extinguisher, but he sure found it on the way down. It was high enough above inseam level that he apparently hit it with a good amount of momentum. The hook punctured his pants and his family jewels.
As I recall, the lack of visible blood caused him to wait for several minutes to report the injury, until he realized the pain was not going to subside. He was worried he was going to get fired for horseplay. Ultimately the boss decided he created his own punishment, and let him slide, so to speak. #rollsroycephantom

We should all show this to our children to encourage them to go the extra mile.

Good work, but you missed a couple:
the 1967 Opel Rekord was built in Brazil between 1969 and 1992 as the Chevrolet Opala/Comodoro/Diplomata.
The 1st gen Mitsubishi Debonair was produced between 1964 and 1986 with a minimum of changes:
