If you have dial-up, stop the player, and do the right click to download thing.

One of the great things about the internet: When you do something stupid, there is always someone stupider on the internet to make you feel better.

I was laughing hysterically at the idiots...

Then I realized that it was something that I would try to do in a heartbeat... Scratch that idea, Mikey.

Is that a sneer of some kind? Usually people take me as too serious- yet now they're taking me as not serious. I'm still doing the experiment. I got the engines on stand-by and have access to the emissions monitoring equipment and a dynometer. I think I just need a oxy-acetylene regulator, solenoid valve, bottle and large amounts of duct-tape. Then again, I don't know how I can put a dyno-load on a 4 HP Diesel engine- anybody got a wooden Prony brake?

Lots of potential in these people, too. I can't imagine taking a couple grand and trashing it out like this on the street!!

Surprised theres not some more injurie sfrom ragdolling like that. Seems like at some of those speeds a human bone would be as protective as a wet noodle.

The best was passing the cop at 170...
