Hate crime. The driver is a homophobe.

Dear Responsibility2nd,

Did I post a large enough exerpt this time?

Perfectly good waste of an LS-6 in a foreign car.

So they put took a 70-year-old woman at the last minute, stuck her in a souped-up custom sports car, and expected that to work?

If you stuff a ‘Vette V8 into one of those things, the power-to-weight ratio would be enormous. It only weighed 2800 pounds and came with a 3-liter V8 that put out 145 HP.

The car has mechanical quirks that may have confused the driver, who didn't own the car and only was asked to drive it that morning, he said.

Thats my story and I'm sticking with it...!

The parade was canceled. It was supposed to have been part of a weeklong celebration of equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Alaskans.

What a shame.

Back in the '80s I knew a couple of guys that had a pretty good bidness putting crate 350s and even 427s into Nissan 280s.
Bought the motors from the local Chevy dealers. Did the appropriate welding and drive train, cooling system, suspension and rear-end rebuilds and on some even did custom interior work. They made some good money. They even did a few of the Triumph Stags if I remember right.
They made some real screamers. But I think these had a pretty short shelf-life due to ...'driver error.'

There was a laddy named Crump
Cherished nothing so much as his rump
But then an old bag
In a ‘71 Stag
Hit the gas up his @$$ pump-pump-pump

[Responsibility2nd]

Yes you did. Thanks. I was able to get the gist of the story without clicking the link.

Appropriately enough.

[Eaker]

That thread makes you look like an idiot.

Why would you link it? I’d let it die.

[Revolting cat!]

There was a traffic Sgt. Justin Doll 
Investigating tragic poofter fall
The vehicle is safe to drive
He said, I did derive
The fault lay with the oldster moll

Owner to driver: “What ever you do, don’t mess with that switch that says NOS.”

[Secret Agent Man]

Driver?!?!

No way. THE CAR is a homophobe. It has a v-8 from a Corvette, if there was ever a hetero car it was the corvette.

Especially figure the media always writes these types of article where the vehicle does something, not the driver.

SUV hits pedestrian; Car drives into house; Vehicle slams into embankment; etc.

[Fightin Whitey]

Right on.

Skeptoid had to throw a Doll into the mix after I already had a rhyme going.

lol

[skeptoid]

Who new?

[skeptoid]

Truth is often stranger than a pervert’s “imagination”.

[skeptoid]

That was a most excellent limerick!
