Default how to have fun with a corvette- Just drive them

Reminds me of driving in England for 3 weeks and smelled something on the way
home in the plane. Checked everything and finally found some crap stuck to my
shoe. Slipped off to the can and to remove it. Low and behold it was just one of
the English cars stuck to my shoe. Took if off and went back to my seat,
huummmm, why does my back feel better? No smell any more but I got lots of dirty
looks from people coming out of the can after that. Much more so than the people
that come over just to talk to you about your Corvette when you stop for gas or
what have you.

Not sure why he was worried about his teeth, do they even have any of those over
there? Even if you did they might leave by standing on the barrel end of a mini
gun and turning it a bit while expounding on your super intelligence.

Notice how the dust trail got smaller when he finally gets a hit as it's rerun
past the cameras much slower? Also notice how the RR quarter was tamper with to
make the child thrilling explosion. Kids never seem to grow up as they acquire
enough money to look mega silly. Not even a well shot film, way to many errors.

I found it amusing. He does make some valid points about it's
ride,performance etc.. And as a C4 owner I know all about the rough ride.
The Vette did seem to slow down in order for him to get a hit though. Lame

Kinda my point, first he says it's not a sports car and then complains about its
rough ride.?????? Will the ass end come around on a 1/4" of water on a skid pad
under acceleration? You be the judge. If it's a gas guzzler that's the problem,
what did the money spent on ammo, fuel, and retakes cost the environment? Let
alone the burning of a automobile on the lake bed? Not only did it slow down but
re-takes were shot after it had been shot up, notice the roof re-appearing after
the close-up of his mother in the drivers seat. Me thinks it was harder to stop
then he thought. Plus if you had a 5 minute head start in a 160 MPH car to clear
20 miles an 8 minute drive would be over before you could be caught??? A 400 MPH
helicopter, 200 is more like it? Amusing, maybe, envy is it without a doubt, but
there are enough followers to make him rich enough to throw **** at us at will.

Default how to have fun with a corvette- Would never caught it

Ol' Jeremy is not as bright as he lets on.

He calls it a Hughes 300E, however, I don't think it is. I think it is a
Hughes 500 Model 300E, although I can't find that specific model, I can find
some of the Hughes 500 Model 3xx series.

Specs on the Hughes 500 range from 125 knots to 135 knots cruising speed.
That is 144 mph on the faster. That isn't top, but hanging two mini guns
out there introduce some drag, so his top is probably around 160 mph.

If you take off and head across at 150 with that kind of head start, 160 top
speed is not going to catch it as he is only gaining at 10 mph, so the 5
mile lead would take 30 minutes to make up. And Hank will be at the
mountains (20 miles) in about 8 minutes.

If indeed it is a Hughes 300E, then it has to be one of the Schweizer-Hughes
collaborations, and they are even slower.

His rate of fire was far less than 4800 rounds per minute. He wasn't
carrying enough ammo for that as seen inside the copter. Probably more like
1000 - 1500.

Oh well, it appears to be an old test car that was probably marked for
destruction anyway. Notice the dash, inner doors, and seats.

I am surprised at how well the explosion was suppressed. Had it been the
gas tank, I'd have expected more fire even with the bladder in there.

Agreed, spinning is a bad thing? Heck, I have been able to spin most of
mine on command under acceleration by hitting the gas and turning the wheel.

I have had English sportscars. drove them, race them, built them. Being
underpowered with 75 ponies seems to be an English requirement to be a
sports car. When Lotus began making them with 120 to 160 bhp, it was
downright scary to some blokes.

Jags never ran long enough to scare anyone. :-)


Go watch this one. He says (SHOCK!!) the Corvette is good!

Yeah but "ken" of antu is only interested in the circumference of the
exhaust pipe. Gotta get it where you can when you're married to ugly
Sarah.

Come on Assthrobby, when you aren't posting articles about big penis's
you're dreaming about them.

Btw, the factory exhaust on a Corvette has four pipes, ya fay
pedestrian, smack talking, hooch swilling, weed growing,
terrorist sympathizing, cattle prodding, goose stepping, long haired
euroPEON hippie socialist ******.
