    WTF is lady Gaga?

    All of the crap she wears is just a pathetic attempt to draw your attention away from her nose that would make Humpty Hump cringe.
  2. How about posting some pics of Beirut. The only images I have ever seen are what is shown on the news, usually after some fighting has taken place. It would be interesting to see the rest of Beirut, not just the destroyed buildings and homes. Until you posted pics of your house, I never imagined something like that could exist in Beirut with what little I know about your city.
  3. Easy man. He didn't say anything about thinking the ninja 250 isn't capable. He said he wouldn't go on the highway, not because of the bike, but because you have the same stupid ass drivers, but now they are going 80 mph bumper to bumper like they are up and coming NASCAR stars. I have known multiple people that started out on 600cc+, not one of them made it a year without crashing. Some crashed due to rider error, others crashed because of bad drivers. One was even T-Boned going through a green light. Luckily all my friends have survived. Best wishes to your friend Destructo.
  4. I remember seeing a show about Michael Jordan and it mentioned he is a customer of Bijan's. According to the show, you don't go to Bijan to buy a suit, you buy an entire wardrobe. The best part was after you purchase everything, he creates a book for you, showing you exactly which items can be worn together, so you never have to wonder if your clothes match, you have a book full of pictures showing you what works.
  5. Now that is a carbon fiber interior.
  6. Great choice, those wheels look great. Did you lower your SLR a bit? You and Allan have proven that black is THE color for SLRs.
  7. http://www.lambopower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30527 SP Engineering is selling this kit.
  8. If she wants a manual, the Cooper S is the way to go just to have the 6spd. At 70 in the base Cooper with 5spd you are running around 4k RPM. It is like riding a lawn mower. The automatic is a dog, about what you would expect from a car with low horse power, with the manual it is a much better car. The Mini has been very reliable with about 26k miles. Warranty has covered anything minor that has popped up.
  9. I did some research. It only took Gates 10+ years and getting former President Clinton to sign a new bill allowing his 959 to be driven on public roads. http://www.forbesautos.com/advice/toptens/...bill_gates.html

    Spitzer

    Never heard of Spitzer until this happened, but from watching CNBC, there is a very long list of Wall Street players who are celebrating as Spitzer goes down in flames. On CNBC last night, one reason I heard as to why he hasn't resigned yet was politicians use resigning as part of a plea deal. The person was saying in a lot of cases politicians will talk to the prosecutors and agree to resign as long as criminal charges aren't pursued. The politicians political life will be over, but they won't go to jail.
  11. I thought you were buying a heavily modded Supra. Correct me if I am wrong, but those look like stock windshield wipers. Your Supra is awesome. I love that it has only subtle changes to the exterior. I never liked the all show and no go approach. You have a werewolf in sheeps clothing, but it is a well dressed sheep. Lets see some videos.
  12. Exercise has always worked for me. Even as little as 20-30 minutes of walking, doesn't even need to be a fast pace, just a stroll with my dogs and I will sleep like the dead. When I don't get any exercise for a few days I tend to sleep longer periods of time, but wake up less recharged. I always sleep with a fan on in my bedroom. I sleep better in a cooler room and the steady noise of the fan drowns out the sound of dogs barking, neighbors slamming car doors, or loud cars driving through the neighborhood.
  13. That is unbelievable. I can't even begin to imagine what that must feel like at WOT. Only problem I can see is, what will you do for an encore? There can't be much out there that will be as exhilirating to drive.
  14. The guy had a heart attack and his wife is selling the GT. Low miles and it looks like it has all options. Might be a nice pickup for anyone looking.
  15. There are a few roundabouts in my area and you have not experienced a dangerous situation until you have tried to negotiate a roundabout in the US. It seems very few people understand how they work even though there are signs clearly indicating how traffic should flow. Yield is a concept that escapes most people in my area. It might have something to do with the fact that most people have a cell phone in one hand and a Starbucks coffee in the other.
  16. Reading that this took place in Maricopa county reminded me of THIS story. I remember hearing about this years ago, is this prison still around? That is how all prisons should be. At least if the two racers don't get long sentences, if they end up there, it won't be easy time.
  17. I remember reading this article years ago, and it talked about how bulletproof the Supra engine was. It was built to hold twice the horse power that the factory put it on the streets with. Years ago, Powerhouse racing had a Supra with full interior, ac, and a playstation with full after market sound system, run in high 9s in the quarter. They are by no means a Lambo, but Supras are amazing cars plain and simple. Here is the final page of the article. The first 3 pages are below.
  18. Imagine that, does anything feel fast to you aside from your G? Thanks for the write up.
  19. H1, no question. It would be even better if you got the diesel powered H1 and then did the conversion to allow it to run on regular diesel or cooking oil. Think of all the fast food joints, and restuarants in general that would have tons of cooking oil just sitting in tanks. It would be a long time before your fuel supply ran out.
  20. Congrats! That last pic is great, Black and silver cars in a black and siver garage. Looks fantastic.
