    When you spool up the turbo it makes a distinct "doosh" sound.


    Somebody please smack M-B in the head with one of these:

    As a *huge* fan of Robotech, I definitely appreciate the award for RENNTECH. Their GLK version pushes the envelope of styling and performance for an upscale SUV.


    I'll take one with a Black / Capri Blue color scheme and some chromed 22" Moda 215's. Thanks!

    @Rust-MyEnemy--ymenEyM-tsuR: Ah, Halfords,i had to go to the local Halfords last week to get some numberplates made. I have no idea how they recruit staff,but surely they could find one that isn't a chav that stands there scratching his arse while they talk to customers.

    First off, this totally should have been posted by Ensign Wesley Siler.


    Secondly. Can someone please show me how the warp nacelles fold into the trunk when the roof is down? I'm trying to work it out, and it doesn't seem to work.


    Highly illogical.

    Finally, the tuners are listening to Thomas L Friedman. I think we can all breath a deep, relaxing sigh, and know that the Financiapocalypse is soon to end.

    A little known feature about the Warp Optioned RENNtech Mercedes SL65 is its Holodeck-derived Passenger Holoseat, which can simulate various celebrity babes and Bikini models. You can also choose a program that will allow you to create your very own personalized "Holohotty" for an extra $500.00!
