Every once and a while they "throws up" something completely putrid,
leaving me to wonder if it's some sort of inside joke, or if he has a
brother inlaw he has to indulge.

The Norwood ad was indeed my doing. Now, I have to say I still am in
love with that black "GTO conversion". I just don't care what anybody
says. There's a time to be proper and there's a time to be cheap and
sleazy.

As far as the red GTO "recreations" ... well, they look nice on the
outside, as long as I knew what it really was I couldn't really look
sopmebody who owned one in the eye without giggling a bit over the money
he/she spent. I mean, COME ON. If you can drop $225K on something like
that, can't you just up the ante a lot more and buy something that's
relatively real?

But ummm ... what's wrong with the Aston? The engine? I think that
cars beautiful. Doesn't the Vanquish have a V12? So it's a Vantage
with BALLS.

Life's too short to be Mr. Stickler For The Original about everything!!
Most of us, and you too I would imagine, couldn't afford the original of
a lot of cars we like, and probably never will be able to. In SOME
cases I don't mind a bit of bastardization.

Anybody dreading CBS' coverage of the San Marino race this weekend as
much as I am?

I could give a sh.t, personally. It's nothing but a bunch of pomp and
gild, with nothing of any substance ever coming of a single thing that
comes out of their mouths, while in the meantime so many of the
Vatican's "designated messengers", at least in this country, are busy
playing the mouth organ with the altar boys. And now the spectacle
begins. Jeez, a guy farts while he's on the balcony and news analysts
pundit while showing scenes of quivering, quaking Catholics around the
world. White smoke, black smoke, pot smoke. I think I'll take Door No.
3 and leave the rest to the idolaters.

I won't even start on the UNgodly amount of money the Catholic Church
possesss and does NOT use to help the poor and unfortunate among its
constituents.

What a crock. Yes, I'm bitter. Maybe someday I'll get the faith back
but right now all I've ever had my prayers answered with is a sh.t shower.

I feel like I have to apologize for the above. Not for the content,
because those are my beliefs and feelings and I have a right to air
them, but they are most definitely off-topic, probably offensive to
some, and I'm in a bad mood and shouldn't have spewed them in the first
place. Sorry.

(And no, this isn't another sign of a "peaceful MC" apocalypse or any
sh.t like that. It's just that I know better than to post when I'm in
this frame of mind, and there's no need for post bombs on something as
OT as this.)

Worse yet is the destruction of a real vintage Ferrari so satisfy some

To start: That one is built on a Jag chassis dating back to the

The V-12 in the Vanquish is two Mundial V-6s bodged together, the
Vanquish is an aluminum and carbon fiber steroid clone of the
Maranello that somehow weigh sand extra quarter ton.

The Blue ain't gonna make it past the next two weeks, my friend. I'm
going to the Coachella Festival next weekend (Nine Inch Nails, Coldplay,
The Chemical Brothers, Wilco, The Prodigy, and Snow Patrol, among
others!), and then I'm going to drive to the OC to surprise my parents
before they leave for Europe, and then on to party with my buddies. It
is those nights that the Blue will die.

Actually, I'm surprised it lasted this long. In fact, in honor of your
post I'm going to have a finger or two right now. I'm having a "24"
orgy - 4 episodes in a row on tape, no commercials!! Maybe a replay of
Nextel Cup qualifying after that - it's in Phoenix this weekend but my
roommate and I can't make it.

Doesn't this new conversion make you sick? Yeeeedoggie!

I will readily admit that I am salivating for F1 this weekend. And I
really enjoyed all the racing last weekend, including the replays of the
Grand Am at Fontana (love those Mustangs!) and the Trans Am at Long
Beach (love those Jags!)

I know my NeckCar conversion seems ominous, but remember that I have
always been a fan of ALL racing, and living here where people wear
NASCAR driver jackets even in 100-degree heat (I have the Viagra Mark
Martin one), it was only a matter of time before I started tuning in.
My first loves, however, will always be F1 and Le Mans. Always.

And I got the jacket as a gift. My best friend works for Pfizer. It's
kind of gaudy (blue and red Valvoline colors along with Viagra logos,
it's from last year) but it fits right in around here. Of course, it's
retired for the spring and summer because of the coming heat. I'm not
like the fools walking around Wal-Mart in their "Little E" jackets when
it's 94 degrees out.

Grand Am is bullshit...

I have not, yet there is absolutely no need to drive it to comprehend
its obvious and numerous design and engineering shortfalls and
shortcomings.

However, no less an authority than Evo magazine A-B-C'd it, the
Maranello, and the Murcielago, and succinctly concluded "the racers
liked the Ferrari's raciness [and] the posers liked the Aston's
posiness".

It wouldn't surprise. I haven't heard who's doing it, but I'm sure it'd
be awful. They should just leave the mic open and let us enjoy the
