Finally a pic of a real sports car, actually being designed for somebody to get himself maimed for life.

Fixed. But those are the choices some make in life. :)

I hate the NFL draft, "mock drafts", paid ESPN analysts who spend all year making projections about the draft and have stupid haircuts, and so on. Even as a football fan I can't stand all the hand-wringing and overblown coverage that this gets every year.

Yup. And on top of it, it's usually a few years until you can really tell whether or not the draft was a success.

Those last two cars lapped Northern Virginia Raceway (Car & Driver) in about 2:45, the C7 Stingray turned a 2:53.8, a Grand Sport (my car's motor in a Z06 chassis, suspension/wheels tires) did a 2:47 or so. Anything under 3 minutes on that track is fast, anything under 2:55 very fast, under 2:50- fastest production cars you can buy.

I rarely drive anymore, and when I do I generally don't go over 50mph. Unless I'm in the firstvworld and on the interstate. Then I'll go up to 70, just to blend in.

Try living with the snarled traffic four blocks from your house. I will driving somewhere for the day Sunday. Not sure how I am going to get back home because the street closures will cause backups on highways and roads that I would normally take to get to my house.

Do you have a helipad?

There is no greater automotive fail than a 19 year old Saturn.

Everything.

The mods are wise. Older and wiser.

Agree with advice above. Don't talk about french shower action even if you see it.

We've submitted enough deals to have our bonus hit some kind of a multiplier.. but now they're playing a game with saying that they're not sure it'll go through our leasing bank in a timely enough manner to meet end of month. Redaction's on verbals are not a good practice - especially when it's with people's money... rut rohhhh.:crash:

Chopper is in the shop. Won't be ready until next Thursday at the earliest.

I give Datlas a lot of ribbing over his Saturn but the other day, a guy showed up on one of our rides driving a Saturn SUV. So, I ask the guy what he does for a living and he says he's a dentist. Totally blew my mind as I thought they had all of the nice toys. BTW, his bike was a POS, too. :lol:

Edit: Embellished slightly to make a story - I already knew he was a dentist. ;)

That's some bull****. You don't dangle a carrot in front of your sales team and then yank it away. That's a good way to find yourself in need of a new sales team.

Unless you're the cowboys and have a genius at the helm (of the draft/scouting program). We were going to have a complete crap year last year and our draft was so good we got 13 wins out of it.

For sure.. that kind of **** would get you mutinied as a captain at sea.

I'm waiting to see how it plays out.. they've got a few days left and we'll see how it's reflected on the direct deposit. This would be the first time I'd pull the father tone of "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed." :innocent:

Wait. So, he wasn't riding custom titanium?

If I provide details, then I'm breaking the rule. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

The saturn is dependable, has zero rust on the body (because plastic) and still gets 35MPG. Yeah I know it's probably the GMC Denali of cars, but it's perfect for me.

I'll help you out here Billy.

If, you like the Addiction thread as it is, then don't bring outside drama from other threads into Addiction, plain and simple. It's like a Vampire at your door. If you don't invite him in, he can't cause trouble. But if you give him an invitation, then that trouble is all your responsibility. Billy can't do anything special to bail you out.
