How does a story with no comments get promoted to the front page??

And a perfectly good story about a loony Christian going ape-shit on a plane languishes???

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???

OH, THE HUMANITY!!

(yes, if I could change the font size I would).

"How does a story with no comments get promoted to the front page??"

Never drove a Ferrari flag.

Would there be any existential irony to this story if he designed the car that killed him? My heros Albert Camus and James Dean died the same way.

James Dean was driving a Porsche; There is no substitute.

Guess your penis is bigger than mine. Congrats!

Wasn't his father the great car designer, or his grandfather?

The Ferrari guy got killed on a scooter. Kinda like the Crocodile Hunter getting killed by a stingray.

Someone actually noticed the irony.

My what a bright bunch we have today.

Have you tried the new irony meter protection circuits from Polyphaser?

"Never drove a Ferrari flag."

Pathetic braggart flag.

Should have been in a car. At least a car has a safety cage!

Never drove a Nash Metropolitan flag.

I built my first 13 cars, asshat.
Buy a wrench.

"I built my first thirteen cars...."

But enough about me. Tell me what you think of me.

lol

#1

1928 Ford Roadster body on a custom Z frame (My father taught me to weld) with a Pontiac V8 I overhauled during the Summer of 1964.

.......

#13

1964 Chevelle with a 425 HP 396 out of a '66 Impala.
I had to chain the hood shut, it wouldn't close.

Measured mile 165 MPH.

Fortunately I got my pilot's license at 17 and cars became lesser things.

While I was raising my kids, both college grads with enough seed money to never be in debt, but not enough to never be productive, I drove a BMW 2002tii for 24 years and 300,000 miles.

I sold it to Terry Sayther.

Ask him.

"I built my first 13 cars, asshat."

Changing the oil filter doesn't count, asshat.

"I spent most of today watching the detritus of exploding stars...."

The city, the city---Residence elsewhere is mere eclipse.

Beulah, peel me grape.

Nobody gives a fuck about your cars, your pilot's license, your kids' resumes or somebody named Terry.

Start with building the frame.

Then go to a wrecking yard and find an engine.

I was 13.

Do the words "ring ridge reamer" mean anything to you little 'tard?

"Ring ridge reamer...."

A kind of dog indigenous to Rhodesia, am I right?

"Do the words "ring ridge reamer" mean anything to you little 'tard?"

No. And I couldn't give a fuck you pathetic egomaniac.

Always looking to the past that one is-

"Oh, Beulah, peel me a grape."

You're killin me today, zed : D

"You're killing me today...."

I wrote my first thirteen stand up monologues.

You aren't even fertilizer.

Arf.

But you can be useful and become fertilizer.

Scooter Libby killed some mobster?

I think that was the nickname of the guy in Deliverance who nailed Ned Beatty.

Seriously though, it takes a set of brass ones to ride a scooter or a motorcycle anywhere in Italy. Whenever I see guys on Harleys in the states acting all tough, I picture how freakin' terrified they'd be riding in Milan or Sao Paulo, BR.
Humorous.

He went the usual way of the Ferrari:From VRROOM VRROOM to DOOM!

"Do the words "ring ridge reamer" mean anything to you"

No! But once I asked the parts lady if they had a Bung Hole Reamer in stock! Oh the attitude she gave me then!

"Would there be any existential irony to this story if he designed the car that killed him? My heros Albert Camus and James Dean died the same way."

YEAH!

Except Dean didn't "design" the Porsche Spider, Fool!

Dumbest thread ever flag

"From my own hands I fashioned my castle, hewing the bare rock with my bare hands, lifting the tons of basalt onto my back as I climbed ten miles up a mountain. I had to catch, skin, and cook my own meals until I was done twenty seven years later. Now I sit in my 2000 square foot breakfast nook and log into this pathetic blog to remind you all how far short of the mark you have fallen. For I Am Zatoichi!"

Please note the date stamp on my previous post. Ta!

Your awesomeness has surpassed that of the other guy in this thread.

And just think, when you're dead and gone, you'll be nothing but a memory. All of these accomplishments you flaunt as if they mean something are only significant to you.

Cause I can ride a bike with you handlebars.

OH...

And

Has ridden in a ferrari.
Has built a car from ground up. 1964 Ford Falcon Futura.

"1964 Ford Falcon Futura"

Never touched one of those pieces of shit.

I'm pretty sure Zat enjoys negative attention as much as the other kind.

I really built my first car. I mined, I grew rubber plants, I drilled and I processed all the raw materials into metals, plastics and rubber myself. My design made Ferraris look like Skodas. My ride went from 0 to 60 in .203 seconds and got 58.724 mpg. I was 137 days and 2 hours old.

When I reached 248 days and 14 hours, I built my first spacecraft and Earth became a lesser planetary body to me.

These days I spend my time on the internet bragging to people who could give a shit. Because that is what highly accomplished geniuses do.

YEAH!

What is it thats so astonishing to some of you people about building a car?

I built my first car out of three VWs when I was fourteen. I then got an opportunity to work at a place called the Flying Porsche Ranch in Los Gatos California when I was 17 rebuilding 356 and 911 motors; Kurt Somebody was the owner -------- what an ass he was.

It was the start of a lifetime obsession with restoring/upgrading/modifying/
combining and ultimately enjoying fine motor cars.

People with ingenuity and skill used to be celebrated ---- now apparently their just hated on by those without it!

"People with ingenuity and skill used to be celebrated ---- now apparently their just hated on by those without it!"

It doesn't take much ingenuity and skill to build a car. When I was 302 days and 2 hours old, I built the world's first home computer out of flotsam. Then I realized I had to create the internet before I could really use it for anything. So I did that too. Now THAT took ingenuity.

Nice try though. Happy extinction, idiot!

Bet there was a lot of ferrari red at the scene...

and any of you preturnatural mechanics out there want to help me get the friggin' power steering box out of my friggin' taurus?

Didn't think so.

Man, i hate working on newer (post 1980s) cars.

This article just led me to change my mind about buying a scooter. I had just been thinking about how they are great for commuting on sunny days. Now I'm not so sure.

Add 200 to your kids' SAT scores and that is why my kids got. Of course, they took the SAT when they were five.

Ask Peter Wallington.

And suck on this...

"I didn't go to Caltech" flag.

SAT is for amateurs.

My two year old works LSAT args on the john.

He's drinking buddies with Stephen Hawking.

Writes columns for the Alcalde since '06.

Meanwhile the H.E.S.S. gamma-ray detected that Gomeisa 6p Centauri made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.

And you're gonna die.

'"I didn't go to Caltech" flag.'

I built Caltech when I was three. My grandfather's boyfriend taught me terraforming..

Hahaha...this entire thread deserves a FF. Step right up and give us your best drunken egomaniac impression.

So far, Sully is in the lead.

Maybe yours can do the NYT Crossword with his paws...
