Good thing you didn't. As someone said after a test drive, "I hadn't even put it in gear and it was killing people!!!"

Oh come on, people. He's been all over the news lately. Do *none* of you recognize this quote? Are none of you able to pick up on a straight line like that?

I do... Mr. Cosby had that in one of his stories years ago. I guess we cannot mention Bill any more since he has been tried and convicted in the world of public opinion and media frenzy. I don't know if he is guilty or not, but, to have waited this many years before coming out with this is cause for wonder.

Just as a side note, my X wife accused her brother of something similar and from all we can gather it never really happened at all. It was a product of her mental illness. I don't know... I just wonder and am concerned how many have just plain decided that, if they say so, it most be so. I think we do have a judicial system in this country. If he did do all the stuff that has been brought out, then his reputation should be ruined, however, it's one word against the other for now.

Probably Bill Cosby. Carroll Shelby built a personal 427 Cobra (Super Snake) that was rated at 800 HP. Cosby saw it and wanted one so Shelby built a second one. Cosby took one drive, pooped his pants and sent it back to the dealer. The next owner destroyed the Super Snake by driving over a cliff and into the Pacific Ocean; he died from his injuries a few days later.

Cosby also added the car to his act. In it he said that the car was so powerful and hard to control that it would be lethal to the driver, Cosby decided to return it, saying, "Take the keys and this car, it's all paid for, and you give it to George Wallace." Wallace was a well-known pro-segregationist, and was running for President at the time.

This one only has 600 HP.

I had a buddy with an upholstery shop. He worked on a lot of hot rods because he had a couple and all the car show guys around here knew his work. A guy brought his 650 hp shelby in to have the seat done and the kid working for my buddy couldn't get it in the shop because of the power. He would either kill it or roast the tires and shut it down when he let out the clutch. It was entertaining for the 2-3 minutes m buddy let him try. Then he figured the kid was going to die, or crash the car (at which point the owner may have killed the kid) so he jumped in and pulled it in the shop.

Of course we do.

This guy belongs in the Tiki Room.

You know that Disney commercial, "For the First Time in Forever?" I think they did a great job on the voices. By the way, I remember there was an SGTer who had the Yeti as his avatar, with the words "Fix me". Has the Yeti been fixed yet? By the way, do Hans, Otto and Fritz still scale the Matterhorn, or is that long gone?

DisneyMom will be unavailable for 24 hours.
