[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: That was perhaps the douchiest thing on this thread. You should be ashamed. It is NEVER okay to wish harm on someone. Well, sometimes it is (like if they run over your child in a car), but rarely. Out of line and unbecoming.]
@Al Navarro: Yeah, sorry. One could rightly issue me a PUI, because that was after 15-17 beers (I definitely have a Mr. Hyde hiding in me). It also qualified as a "beware the one liner" post, and a "read before you post" post. I spent no more than 30 seconds reading and posting. I certainly don't actually wish Bolt harm. So again, sorry.
Also note that that was my last post of the night, as I promptly fell out of my chair and passed out.
I still think he's an ass though. To stop trying (and start celebrating) 20m before the finish line in Bejing with the whole world watching was truly tasteless, and demonstrated that he didn't care about how fast he ran, or even if he tried his best, only that he beat the other guys.
@Qutaiba_ELLEEL: [OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: Because he would kick your ass. I did not see that TG ep. BTW, in my experience, most sprinters (and actually, many successful people) can come off as jerks...they have a sense of purpose and confidence, as well as a singlemindedness that is essential to their success. If Mr. Bolt did not think/act like he was the fastest man on earth, he would not be.]
@Qutaiba_ELLEEL: Jeez, who pissed in your Cheerios this morning? Give the kid a break. He's 23 and likes to drive fast (did you pay attention to how he did in the reasonably priced car? Not bad for the huge dude that he is). Never mind the fact that he probably doesn't drive much, being the he's the fastest human being in the world.
Until Usain does something douche-worthy (no, wrecking an M3 doesn't count), I give him license to shop for whatever sports car he wants.
He gets this Jalop's vote for celebrity hoon of the moment.
It's not only me, in the Poll most people voted for him as the smug(est) athelete ..

And @Navaro: I know he is good so he might have a reason to be proud..

I'm supposed to be policing the comments, btw. As in, I am a not just a random commenter douching on you. I could edit your comment if I chose to. I could even ban you. I have done neither. Hope this helps clarify where I'm coming from.
Why the shitty Ferrarri? If you're gonna buy one, at least buy and Enzo. And if you're feeling REALLY adventurous, put on the big boy pants and buy an FXX.
Because the Enzo costs like nine Bagagzillion dollars, and you have to wait for one, while the Cali is in a price range he can afford, and is in-stock???
Do I need to add the word "DUH!" to that statement?
@Jakooboo would like a star very much please yes?:
[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: Why the needless profanity? That is certainly not going to earn you a star anytime soon. And BTW, we all know that the P4/5 pwns all Enzos.]
@666speed: [NON-OMBUSMAN'S OMBUDSMANLIKE COMMENT] No, you actually did it totally wrong... you stated the obvious, but didn't OVERSTATE the obvious... personally I would've recommended having the Ferrari salesguy go against "type" - maybe something like this:
BOLT: "I need a Ferrari."
SALESGUY: "Oh, and why is that?"
BOLT: "Because I'm the fastest man in the world, and I need the fastest car in the world."
SALESGUY: "Well, in that case, you're at the wrong place - you might need something like a Veyron - if you want the fastest straight-line production car - or a Gumpert - if you want the newly-fastest Nurburgring rcord holder. Ferrari's ain't for you."
BOLT: "Oh???"
SALESGUY: "Yeah... but Ferrari's will still get you more chicks, though, because those other cars are ugly f*cks."
BOLT: "F*ckin-A, skippy... then I DEF still want a Ferrari!"
SALESGUY: "OK, but you know, I've seen your driving - that Bimmer you hooned into a ditch... tsk, tsk... you don't wanna do that with a 430 or a 599, trust me - you'll be a dead man."
BOLT: "So... what are you saying?"
SALESGUY: "We're gonna sell you a Ferrari, but might have to put a governor on it."
BOLT: "Wha...?"
SALESGUY: "Yeppers... look, we don't want you over-hooning one of our cars - it would look bad for us - so we'll sell you one, but it can't go 0-60 in less than 7 or 8 seconds, and we'll max it out at, let's say, 90MPH."
BOLT: "WTF???"
SALESGUY: "Sorry, we're on strict orders from the factory after that whole Eriksson thing... you understand."
BOLT: "Oh."
Salesguy: "How abut this California over here? This'll pretty much meet the criteria without us having to any modifications at all."

Whatever. I'm just glad Bolt isn't pretending to be a female and competing in the Women's events. That just isn't sporting.

Or for Bonus points, I think some Photoshop Pro should put the slr-guy, the civic guy and the ferrari guy in one Douche 3some

[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: Would you say this to Mr. Bolt's face? I doubt it. Srsly.]

His ego is so big, he will think you are complementing him !!!
