I once flew an F-4 Phantom directly from a sortie in Vietnam to Mugello, where I crash landed in the infield before hopping into Jackie Ickx's already-running 312B3 ‘Spazzaneve’ F1 car to run enough laps to obtain a superlicense to compete in F1.
I found F1 boring though, so I founded "Flight Club", where former pilots and disillusioned ad execs would fight in live-ammo combat over the skies of New Mexico (btw, Don Draper? Wuss.).
After killing all of my close friends, I set a land-speed record of mach 4.3 at Black Rock, a time that was disqualified because I ended up in Utah when my parachute failed. Annoyed by my failure, I became a Mormon, quit drinking, and ended up as a starred commenter on Jalopnik, scraping by on table scraps and helping F1 teams around their in-season testing ban by testing on my own personal track on mars.
That's why Ol' Bob won't race me. His balls shrink just hearing my name. That and I can't get my damn car running. #lutzvssiler

Hey, I know you! You're the guy my cousin warned me about when we were both doing the fightclubformulaoneexfighterpi... circuit! :)
Anyway, Nice... you get a heart-clicky from me. #lutzvssiler
@twitchykun: well that changes things a bit, probably for the better considering the AMG was 100hp light. If it were a contest of pretty, I would have gone with the Merc first, then the Caddy, with the Jag coming in fourth. But for performance I think the Jag and the CTS-V are pretty evenly matched, and it should come down mostly (as it usually does) to the driver.
Go Wes! And if that news report is to be believed and Lutz shows up driving an automatic, I hope you'll be wearing the official "I'm with slushbox →" Jalopnik t-shirt. :)
