The first fast and furious scooter! REALLY
A buddy of mine's dad works at Holley as an engineer.
THe Fast and Furious people called Holley right at the beginning of the movie to say hey we are dumb come do car stuff and a store for us.
Holley jumped on that like white on rice. That why there was NOS stuff EVERYWHERE cause Holley makes it. They set up that store where the guy worked, all the displays and shit.
So right after the first F&F movie all these people were calling Holley to get a NOS kit for their motorized scooters. And they didn't make one, at least not yet.
This fat guy in engineering was all "Hell my kids got one, I'll bring it in and see what we can do." So he brought it in and they pulled the head off. They got the smallest jet they produced (for a 1 cyclinder racing motorcycle), the smallest bottle they make, and set it to the smallest boost possible.
The guy goes out to their 'test track' which in this case is the parking lot there at Holley. Gets that little bastard up to top speed and hit the button. THe scooter takes off, straight up, super wheelie. Dumps the rider and he rolls to a stop. He's pissed off and all his coworkers are laughing their asses off at him.
He tries again, gets it up to top speed and leans all the way over the handle bars, then hits the button. Hes doing like 40 on a scooter with a like 25cc motor.
EDIT:
HOLY SHIT that scooter's got a 4 speed transmission. I WANT one!

You do realize you're asking for trouble, right?
How about a dose of reality...

We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

It's an improperly configured server, combined with a worthless proprietary microsloth format video file. It's not your computer's fault.
If you are interested in seeing it, you can do a "save as" with the link, then use windoze media player for Macintosh to play the file.
windoze media player for Mac OS X
windoze media player for Mac OS 8.1-9.x

Macs and PCs are apples and oranges. Granted I do not like macs myself.. thats because I'm a PC girl and macs are not intended for what I use my comptuer for.
Macs are great for people who do a lot od graphics, audio, and other creative stuff.. ohh and Johnathan. *grin* They are very stable and rarely if ever crash. Good for those who don't want to deal with that kind of stuff and just want a computer that turns on and does what they want.
PCs are for those of us who go "Hey, if i tweak this and move that and plug that in there I wonder what will happen!?! *ZAP* Ohh.. that's what happens." We toy with them tweak them push stuff around, mod and harass our computers in any way we can. Thats what we want them for, to toy with and play games on.
There you go. That's not the complete rant but that's the jist of it.

May your dreams be the future you could have had, and your nightmares be the realization that you destroyed your chance to make it reality.

Can you give me 3 good reasons why a PC is "superior" to a Mac?
Honestly, I don't like any operating system that you have to use without some sort of shell. OS X has a BSD-based shell, and an insane amount of support from the free software community. As such, they get my support as well. Go figure.
