But I'm on a small colonial outpost and it took years to get here, so late 80s doesn't count.

E: Jesus, off all the bands to pick, he picks the one band I hung out for to see live when they came here that I mentioned before.

WMC French Car Division, Ardrossan, Ab: The appearance at HQ of yet another shab-tastic five-speed Franco-diesel has apparently pushed the Accounting Division over the edge. The French Car Division's debt / GDP ratio, mathematically unsustainable and climbing for years now, has finally reached it's "hockey-stick" phase, and landed the President in court to defend himself and his favorite Division from the wrath of the Company's calculator commandos.
The list of charges reads like a who's who of bad decisions: DS, CX, 604, 505... more oxidizing continental curiosities than any single company could hope to maintain without concocting some profound pecuniary prevarication.

"The FCD's track record here speaks for itself, I'm afraid," said Agent 313 in an exclusive interview on CBC 2 today, "...there doesn't seem to be any real hope of fabricating some kind of a defensible high ground from which we can ward off these totally accurate- I mean crazy, charges."

If you look closely in some of the "will it run" videos you'll see the improvised gravity-feed gasoline IV made of a pop bottle and the car's radio aerial.

This dude is cool, IMO. Doing donuts around a police photo van.

quote:

A 52-year-old man was ticketed after he was seen this morning doing donuts in a parking lot by a Boulder police photo radar van and then fled into the visitor's parking lot of the Boulder police station, officials said.

At about 7:09 a.m. today, a photo radar officer in her van was preparing to go on shift when she saw a Toyota FJ Cruiser driving recklessly in the parking lot of Best Buy, 1740 30th St., according to Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel.

According to the officer, the man was speeding through the parking lot, doing donuts and driving over piles of snow created by plows. At one point, the driver reportedly drove at the radar van -- which is unmarked -- and veered around it twice.

Another witness waiting in a car in the parking lot said the driver had been doing this for about 20 minutes.

The photo radar officer called dispatchers, and a Boulder police officer arrived on scene, but the driver of the Toyota fled when the officer asked him to stop, Kobel said.

The officer followed the driver to 33rd Street, where he eventually pulled into the parking lot of the Boulder police station, 1805 33rd St.

At that point, other officers who had been inside the station came out to assist, and the driver stopped the car.

The driver, identified as Richard Lewis, 52, was cited for reckless driving and eluding.

No one was injured during the incident.

Neither of those look like handicapped spots though? At least, not compared to the usual ones I see. They're always painted a very noticeable shade of blue here.

But if this is Ardrossan, then no. There are no hills there. Leslie Nielsen called us Snowbillies. I like that.

I was confused as well. Neither of the spots are handicapped. Just end spots pretty far away from the destination. Well with in the lines even. Those I suppose I could be a stereotype for parking away from everyone.

And here's one for xzzy that I think i've shared before that's not in the setting sun and not taking with a low dynamic range cellphone.

Yeah, I figured that second one was just your typical "End of the parking lot" space, since it had that yellow dashed area indicating the end of the row.

That color is loving beautiful, btw.

It fails the test when you lay the broomstick across the cage, but passes when you use the wing.

Winged Supermodifieds use active aero

Hydraulic or pneumatic systems attach from the wings to the frame or suspension. As they go down the straight, the air forces the wings to lay flat to reduce drag. In cornering, the systems force overrides the slower moving air and raises the wing angle to increase cornering aerodynamics.

Sadi is correct, when IOC first took over the reigns he consolidated a lot of the picture threads into one, and thus the Awesome AI poo poo thread also became the place to post cellphone pics of cool cars, because cool cars are awesome.

Also, since when is a loving bright orange M3 "generic"? If it was just a normal 3 series in black or blue I'd agree, but come on.
