    made me good money, I'd bet them $50 I could get them out... I never lost, wouldn't take on lost causes- and that was late '80s dollars!

    I'm an Engineer, it's what I do...

    reminds me of the (lame) joke about the easiest way to make a Prius hit 150mph...









    drop it out of an airplane... even a hang glider should do

    Now you know that joke has been around at least 30 years.

    I remember telling that one to my boss in 85. He saw my GTO and talked about how he had a "Judge" that would do 150. I asked "What airplane did he drop it out of" Explaining how the laws of physics and gear ratio vs tire size vs RPM works was to no good.

    I finally explained that one might get 5500 out of a RAIII so that meant just over 120. 150mph meant 6500 RPM and the stock rods would have departed long before that.

    And those of that remember the truth 99% of the cars back then were sketchy over 100 and a true 120+ was never to be forgotten on the tires and suspension of the day.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Just think of the anticipation between the start and the pop.

    Did his body land on his head causing his head to be up his ass? Otherwise I don't see the comparison.

    If the guy really had the balls to link a chain around his neck, and around a solid fixed object........and drive off to achieve the end result........

    Nice job !! I'm giving extra creativity points on that.

    well if you just have to kill yourself at least be original.

    i gotta say that was original...

    betting someone else was involved though.
