DB could have actually driven to Canada at 125: I-5 used to be absolutely traffic free from 3 to 5 AM back in the 70's, so it would have been pretty easy. Plenty of hoons doing that kind of speed around that time, although long distance hoonage was not common. On the other hand, a Citroen SM would have stood out so much the State Patrol would have stopped him just to look at it up close, being one of those 'furrin' cars they'd heard so much about.

Raise a glass to DB! Beat 'em all and got a chevy and a ford named after him (at least in this thread). Steve McQueen couldn't even do that. Yea, take me home, yea, take me home. Say goodbye don't follow.

@smokeydog001: I think a Cooper Gettaway Mustang (Hi-Po edition w/drag chute mounted on trunk) would be more 'armed bandit D.B. Cooper style.' Comes w/leather briefcase that matches the leather upholstery.

Damn. If I'd thought of that earlier, maybe I'd be COTD!

Thank you, thank you, Jalops. You're too kind. I should also thank our fearless leader, Mr. Wert, who asked the tech department to fix my account when I sent a plaintive e-mail to the "tips" section whining that I couldn't sign in. It was pure torture for me to see Murilee post pictures of a Peugeot 404 in a junkyard and not be able to comment on it, but this makes me feel much better.

@sliderule: It was a comment about "furry tatas" in today's Tribble thread... being gay I didn't give it a second glance at the time, but I see the humor now in retrospect).

(Ray may have my head atop a pike for revealing this... Is there a Jalop witness-protection program...?)

@Ray Wert: Never would I question your ability to make and enforce rules... I just hate to see anybody leave the playground after recess stifling their tears of disappointment... ;-P

...And in case anyone is wondering, I was never the object of bullying in grade school. I always had the toughest of the schoolyard thugs in my cadré, because they thought I had a clever sense of humor, and thus I always had an elite squad of bodyguards to deal with anyone who looked at me cross-eyed.

...but back to the COTD. I too wish to be among the elite and to win this award. The award itself couldn't really be shared because no one I know in the real world even knows I'm here. Having said that, I often get a sense of well being just seeing my comment in the "Latest By..." portion of the page. For that I say, "Thanks"

Now tell us who it was going to be before Armand4 stole our thunder!

@deskman: Just a dart theme today, eh? You know, odds are these days, that if I DART around Jalopnik, I'm likely to run into some form of DART, like a DART hitting a bullseye on a DARTboard. Truly, I kid. And in summary, my dart ate my post.

If that doesn't get the COTD from within the COTD thread I've been waiting for (because it's just so meta), nothing ever will.

Made me properly laugh out loud, that did.

Oh no you di'nt...!
You REMOVED the previously proclaimed COTD post...? Isn't there enough Jalop love to go around to have co-COTDs under these kinds of circumstances? To snatch defeat from the jaws of victory just seems cruel... you know how coveted the COTD title is (for no real good reason that I can discern, BTW) amongst the core constituents.

Good call that. For all we know, Cooper could be here, commenting on Jalopnik with the rest of us, fighting back the urge to post "Citroen SM my cold, wet ass! After having most of my clothes blown off at 30,000 feet, trying to guide my parachute with my teeth while holding onto my money and suffering a bone-jarring landing in the middle of bum-f**k egypt, I had to hike outta' there on my bare feet. Not only that but I was chased by two dogs that wanted to eat my nuts, had to steal some clothes off of a clothes line, and all I could find was some hippie women's mumu, and then had to take a flippin' Bus back to seattle so I could use the 200 gees to realize my dream; opening up the worlds first chain of gourmet coffee shops- Starbucks."
