Re: The Lounge
i told you i don't drink coffee. probably something to do with the fact that i always get the good ♥♥♥♥ at airplane terminals. and wtf could justify spending 600$ a pound?
as for sugar...can we ar least agree that it is a terrible thing to drink good coffee like it was a triple triple from tim hortons (or wherever you get the random coffee)

Re: The Lounge
This doesn't really qualify as a normal car, but it simply gives me goosebumps. 1200 horse power (1600 on qualifying laps) on something that weighs the same as half a dozen a bricks, no power steering and a regular clutch and stick.
♥♥♥♥ you and ♥♥♥♥ me, we can't drive for ♥♥♥♥.
Also non, very good choice. That is one the prettiest mercs ever built. Along with this one
It's classy, it's roomy, it's silent and it can bring shame to quite a few ferraris. It's the kind of car I'd buy if I ever got into the mob. Or a government job.

They're waffles dude.
AND THEY WERE OUT OF NOWHERE! I mean, if we were talking about breakfast foods, then saying "Oh, I really like waffles with peanutbutter, doused with maple; it really does kick off my day." That would be fine. Waffles are already a cliche, dreary topic, but when coming out of thin air it's really bothersome.
When I read your comment, this is how I imagine you thought it up.
"Oh, waffles, how I love you with butter of the peanut. I love smothering the butter of the peanut with the boiled sap of the maple . My mind orgasms when I eat you in the same manner that Bob Ross likes to paint trees, happily. Tasty
O, Waffles, you doth teach the torches to burn bright!"
First of all, if it's a poem, make it clear. Second of all, if it ain't, then punctuate and don't break up your sentences. And never put "yum" at the end of anything. It's childish. I may be harsh, but there's really very little I hate more than people who make metaphors/similes about topics nobody was on about, and then tacking on some cute little word on the end like "yum" or "mmmm" or "yay" or something like that. It's just phenomenally annoying.
Where the hell does PBS even come into play? Why do you get all PBS-ey on waffles? What does that even mean? Why the hell are you even watching such a useless, stupid channel on TV? That's what really get's me mad. I have no idea what you meant by PBS-ey, but it just sounds so stupid. Did you mean Peanut Buttery?
And yes I do have issues when people just start blabbing off about food. I get really worked up about that extremely useful time that I spend wasting my life as I read that comment. I'm just saying that you should at least say something marginally interesting when you go off topic.
Now look at what you've done! You've got me ranting and wasting time about a stupid topic! GODDAMNIT
You realize that not only is this a pontless conversation but also that the thread rules specifically state a topic change is allowed at any time, about anything. Why is it that when a group of guys discuss boner piss you're ok with it, but the mere mention of me saying 'i like waffles' infuriates you? And PBS means Peanut Butter - Syrup. I though that was fairly clear.

If you like cars then watch that movie that came out about senna if you haven't already. Also, it's a Mercedes 190e evolution II. Completely stock, completely beastly.

It was actually a cosworth underneath all that german..niness.And yes, the 190's were early class C. On that note, isn't yours an extremely early 190?

Re: The Lounge
I utterly love the aesthetics of this car. I'll probably never own it because insane costs aside, all Koenigsegg models are pretty limited since they're not mass-produced but crafted one by one. That CCXR Edition makes my mouth water, though. Also pretty damn fast for a production car- the previous model, the CCX, is the third fastest in the world, but the CCXR could "theoretically" be the new record, as Koenigsegg says it could potentially go at 271mph. Yet to be proven.
EDIT: Oh baby, listen to that beast growl. Such a shame that this particular unit is confined to the streets of London.

A lot. The CCR, for instance, fourth fastest production car in the world, runs at $590,000 USD. The CCXR Trevita, only 3 planned to be manufactured, will run you $4,850,000 USD, making them the most expensive production cars in history. Thankfully, the regular CCXR is slightly more affordable at $1,200,000 USD.
I've never been a fan of the Bugatti Veyron, sorry. I think the rear of the car is much too round- doesn't really look sleek or agile, it reminds me more of a subcompact than a supercar. That's just my two cents on it though.

Re: The Lounge
That's a lot of cash for pieces of crafted metal. And paint. And some glasses. And things.
I mean, why would I pay so many millions to get a car? I'd buy a million cars instead and make ridicolous things with them. Yeah.

Re: The Lounge
The Bugatti Veyron is an engineering love letter. Even if you hate the design (personally I like that it's not as ostentatious as most all other supercars) you have to appreciate the sheer outrageous beauty of the thing.
It's a four seater car that is powered by the unholy union of two V-8 engines. It has more radiators than most cars have cylinders, and it's capable of 250+ mph while completely under control, to the point that Captain Slow himself can drive one at unholy speeds.
The Bugatti Veyron is, very likely, going to be the greatest petroleum powered vehicle in history. There will be never be a traditional, gas-guzzling car as objectively amazing as the Veyron because it is itself a one-off by a manufacturer that loses millions of dollars on every unit sold.
It's a car made to be one thing: the greatest car in history. Maybe it's not the most comfortable, maybe it's not (quite) the fastest, maybe it's not the best to pick up the kids and go to the grocery store in, but it can do all those things, and it can still go over speed bumps.
Christ, I would sell my firstborn child to get to drive a Veyron.

TranStar seems to be trying to top it. The sole purpose the're making the Dagger GT is to make it go insanely fast, and get that fast insanely quickly.

On a totally unrelated note, I can't feel my lower jaw or tongue. And everyone laughs at how I speak.
