"There's something strange about Tom Short's little yellow Datsun 1200. It might be that it can clear a quarter mile in a lightning-fast 14 seconds."
:rofl  :rofl :rofl

A cool concept, but unless he's racing Priuses (Prii?) or 1975 Ford Granadas, 14 seconds is not quite gonna cut it. 




What would be really neato is if they could run a car off of a giant one of these:



A truly "green" alternative with the only emissions being water.  And maybe Mentos.  :D

The last time I saw Pat Boone was in the '90s.  His In A Metal Mood vinyl lp was on sale for $10 and at the time, I wanted to frame it and hang it on the wall.  Decided not to buy it and now kind of regret it.  Freakin' hilarious concept album.
