If that POS was the best looking car he could find, then it`s all for the best.
The bird was blind and needed to be put down before he hurt someone.

Post by: Iceman24 on September 23, 2005, 11:32:11 AM: Porsche makes 1 of the fastest production cars in the world, they currently have the 6th fastest production car in the world in the 2004 carrerra II. See the following link for the rest of the results. Not to mention they make a GT2 that you can order for a little under $ 185,000.00 But if you buy that you will have a car capable of doing over 195 mph, 0-60 in under 4.0 seconds... Porsche also makes a 959 model that is illegal in the US at the moment, its AWD, 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, and tops at about 205mph... I don't think I would call those. The Carrera GT model also has the fastest times on the Nurburgring super track in Germany, which in itself is a great automotive feat to accomplish... I wouldn't call them POS's

Some people like the way they look others hate them, but the one thing everybody agrees on is that they are freaking geniuses in engineering. Ever since Porsche 1st started selling cars, they have been a leader in design, engineering, and performance. There is not another production car company in the world that can even come close to the innovations and technology that those guys bring to the table... Do some research on there cars, and not just the newer ones, look back in the 70's and 80's when they reinvented the the turbo charger. And I think there success in le mans racing and can am racing. Let me quote this from the following link as well , "1975 Mark Donohue sets a new closed course speed record at Talladega: 221.120 mph in a turbo-intercooled 917/30." 221mph in 1975 !!!! thats freakin incredible, nascars and formula 1's could barely hit 175-180 then.

Shame with all that they couldn`t make the appearance look a little better. Maybe at least where you wouldn`t be ashamed to be seen in one unlees is was real dark in a bad storm if you are a guy.

Post by: eagl on September 28, 2005, 02:31:08 PM: Pooface,

It's not a camaro but it's real racing... The second pic has the event info. Fun :) In the third pic, I'm doing around 120 mph on the superspeedway track. We were paced at 80 but I was last in line so I lagged off quite a bit and then went fast to catch up. The car is fast enough that nobody noticed/complained.

Post by: eagl on September 28, 2005, 02:36:40 PM: Images have to be hosted on a website somewhere, and then you can use the "IMG" button and enter in the location of the picture.

If skuzzy really loved us he'd dedicate some hard drive space to allowing users to upload images (reasonably sized ones of course), but I guess he's a cold cold man at heart.

Post by: eagl on September 28, 2005, 02:42:05 PM: Sorry, I don't have much space on my website. If I put much stuff in there, my isp will start charging me fees. Someone else might be able to host them for you, or you can probably even get some free webspace somewhere. Most internet accounts include space for a free smallish website... Try checking to see if your internet provider offers this. Most have instructions on their website.

once youve got them on the net, make a post, and click the img button above the text box, it will ask you for the address of the pic (so copy paste the url of your pics) and your done:p

Post by: beet1e on October 09, 2005, 05:56:49 AM: akak - are you sure that was a real bird? It's still in one piece, there's no blood, and the windscreen has been badly damaged.

I was in the front seat of my dad's car many years ago, when a pheasant, which had been picking away at an animal in the middle of the road that had been run over earlier, rose up to HO us. We hit it at about 50/60, and there was blood, guts and feathers all over the windscreen - which was unbroken despite this being before the days of laminated windscreens.

The one in your pic looks more like a rubber chicken.

Since he attempted to kill crew, he can be considered terrorist, thus linux is thread to national seccurity.

Got it ?

:D

I HOed some little birdie (4-5cm tall) in CLK last year in germany. He were flying on the right side of the road, but he was to slow and his tail lights were off.
Later on, when we parked at the petrol station, we found him in the mask. It was clear, that 1 second before he rammed our "still standing" mercedez, he turned his head back. 0.1 seconds before his dead, he wanted to say something smart to us so he opened his mouth. But before he said something he had piece of german steel in his mouth doing some 150 km/h.... ummm poor little birdie. But he died in one piece, and it proof that mercedez is more nature friendly that Porsche.

Judging someone by the people they surround themselves with is one thing. That shows character. Cars, houses and clothes show personal taste. A Porsche to you may represent an over inflated ego and a moron with more money than sense. But to the person that bought it a Porsche may represent the ultimate in technology and fullfilling a long time dream to own one.
