Question about professionals and the Porsche GT

One of my favorite vids of a falcon making it look easy
Skip to about 2:45 to watch it go from "Strolling in the park one day" to "Nuking it from orbit" in about zero-to-ohshit seconds.

The trajectory, descent, and last instant course change are really amazing.

When is the last time nature sent 300 large land mamals across an ocean in a matter of hours, went Mach 5, went to space or sent an inanimate object outside the solar system? :D

All of those things require "nature" to happen. From the jet stream to aerodynamics to combustion of fuels. Why would you discount one of the best foundations of technological advancement ?

I know of an owner that has one, under a cover, on a battery tender- it get's fire up twice a month and he takes his race cars to the track when he needs to.

Porsche made very few of the Carrera GT's and every time some one wrecks or totals one- the value of his goes up.:cool

1964 Ferrari GTO sells for $52million. A 15% annual return for more than 30 years.
Your bro may not get that return but he may not be totally off track with this investment.


With Ferrari sales from the '50s and '60s surging -- rising around 15 percent annually for more than 30 years -- the GTO has lured wealthy investors looking for an appreciating asset; yet eventually, an inevitable plateau will ensue.

The Professional: Tila Tequila

The Essence:
She posted a message on FB linking the February death of 21-year-old Canadian woman Elisa Lam with actor Walker's fatal car crash. Tequila claims that both were the victims of "ritualistic murder," despite the fact that the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office ruled both deaths as accidental.

Her Opinion:
I know who killed Elisa Lam. I believe I am the only person on this entire planet who knows what happened.

I have just kept my mouth shut because there is a lot more to it and of course...cases like this...I just did not want to draw any attention to myself but I know exactly why they did it and yes it was indeed a ritualistic murder. Just like Paul Walker's.

When it was suggested that her opinion was hard to support, she responded on FB:
“THE ONES TELLING ME TO ‘SHUT UP’ ARE THE ONES HEAVILY INVOLVED IN OCCULT RITUAL SACRIFICES HERE AND THEY FEAR ME TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT HOW THEY MURDER PEOPLE RITUALISTICALLY! GO AHEAD.. LOOK AT COMMENTS… THEY ARE LITERALLY TELL ME TO ‘SHUT UP’ CUZ THEY DON’T WANT TO BE EXPOSED! TOO BAD … YOU F***D WITH THE WRONG B***H NOW!”

Her Opinion on the Porsche GT: Has not been presented yet.

Her Opinion on Hitler: She's sympathetic.

Maybe she just has reversed the definitions of ritualistic and accidental death by misadventure?

Did Conrad Murray lose his license or is he accepting a new celebrity patient?
 
You want to tell me you can come up with a better all-terrain locomotion device than this:

Okay, we can try some non-natural locomotion:

Yes, we do. Based on the fact that birds don't fly to the moon.
Click to expand...

if there were value in flying to the moon, nature would find a way to do it more efficiently

Just because we can individually do something doesn't mean it make us significantly better at doing the whole...

(there is great scientific value in flying to the moon and it greatly benefits a single species, there is zero value for a bird ;) )
(just wanted to clarify since some of you peeps take every statement as direct as possible)

Indeed. We're only "better" at flying because we throw huge gobs of limited natural resource at it. We've only been doing it for a little over a hundred years. Who knows if we still will be in the next hundred.

Birds have had that shit down for millions of years.
