Wow and suddenly he has a ton of car reviews - why the hell is he wearing a helmet in a Mercedes E430?

I'm pretty sure he had to wear a helmet on the bus to school...

ok whoever started this thread owes me!!!! lol

I was fine with it however after reading about 5 minutes worth I saw how far I had to read on...OMG That info looks to be grabbed from all sorts of places and pasted out of sync, and it went it for far too long which made me angry!!! too much reading about nothing and what is the deal with the pizza box under the cargo net and the title of Hauling some Pizza. Dude if my wife got a car like that God Bless her! I agree that 50 50 is needed in marriages so yes she can get a car and I may get a car then wow we both get a car and I too can write a long message about her car and my car and how they compare and then take a lot of photos of them outside different places with the dealer plates on and talk about pizza boxes and the LCD speedo. Then I would take a close up photo of the wheel and calliper and make it look nice and shiny like...but I would make sure the manufacturers badge was facing forward in the right direction I mean up and down..


blah blah

LOL

I'd say there was a 12 step program to cleanse you from the kr-nausea but really we only need one step to do the job :lol::lol:

The man knows even less about cars than he does about photography.

That is a very, very scary thing, as I didn't think it was possible to be that ignorant and stupid while still retaining enough brain cells to continue basic biological functions.

Yeah, I was amused that in the first two lines of the introduction he was already making wild claims that just don't hold up.

"The 521 horsepower, 531 foot-pound, bi-turbo V8 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is the world's most insanely powerful and quietly refined SUV. It's still more powerful than anything from Porsche in 2008"

Not even close on either account. It isn't the most insanely powerful SUV, not with a mere 521 hp, the Tech-Art Magnum has about 610 hp and the Brabus G V12 biturbo has about 690 hp. It also wasn't the most powerful Porsche in 2008, the Carrera GT beats it by about 90 hp at 612 hp.

I didn't bother to read on, I figured that set the tone.
:lol::lol:

lol I don't know why we're surprised...his camera/lens reviews are no more well informed (except for the info he's gleaned from reliable sources) :lol:
