Just Who Needs A Rocket Car?
>> Monday, March 24, 2008 –
iowahawk,
rocket cars
Well, for starters, me.
I might have to compete with Iowahawk on the bidding. . .it's just too much to pass up!
Seriously, it's a rocket car. No joke. Look HERE.
I just balanced my checkbook and I have $37.22. Gotta start the bidding somewhere.
On second thought. . .
This rocket car crash was from a UK show called "Top Gear" when Richard 'hamster' Hammond was racing the car.
Amazingly he made a full recovery inside a few days. If you want to see the pics (its on U Tube) heres a link

In my best Johnny Carson voice: "I did not know that!"
But I do know that if I had a rocket car, it wouldn't be long before I was dead or in jail. Yet, we can dream, can we not?
My mate is a 'petrol head' (Gas head for US?) as we call car fanatics, and like you he wouldn't be able to resist driving like a lunatic.
I on the the other hand have no speed thing, so if I had a rocket car it would be the slowest on the planet!
Gas head or gear head. I'd answer to both.
I'm not so sure I have the need for speed any longer, but to have several hundred horsepower just waiting to be used under a hood gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
I love automobiles. My first car at 16 years old was a 1967 Ford Mustang that I completely restored. I'd give anything to have that car back and kick myself to this day for ever selling it.
Ah, the shortsightedness of the teenage years.
