Distortion, have you seen Albert Porter's "low ceiling" table routine? What did you think of Schumacher's stunt during qualifying at Monaco? I was pretty amazed.

Hemi Challenger or 'Cuda? Yesssssss............ Add a Charger to that list!In the past it was Balisong knives and Tad pool cues. The last seven years, I've been throwing pesos at my '99 M3.
