Patriotism is as fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave, blind as a stone, and irrational as a headless hen.

Bad Day -
$2 Million McLaren F1 Burns Up
It happened when the owner took it out after six months of storage and an onlooker alerted the owner to smoke coming from the engine bay. The fire spread quickly and consumed the carbon fiber body work and 6.0 liter BMW V12 with horrifying efficiency. The car was a total loss, valued at $2 million and insured for $3 million, but the financial implications are nothing compared to losing one of these rare gems. The McLaren F1 is a testament to the magnificent results of form following function, it is quite possibly the purest supercar that will ever be constructed, and to have it die from an engine fire is just sad.

Was talking with a buddy who lives down there, and he said it was just a rich puke that didn't have a fuckin' real clue...
An unknown buyer has splurged on an extravagant private jet that will put every other luxurious private jet to shame. The converted Airbus A380
is expected to be ready in three years time and will hold the title of the world?s largest private jet. The work of transforming this jet into a mid-air
palace is being carried out by the Worcestershire-based firm Design Q. Some of the features of this luxurious jet include an onboard garage,
a lift that shuttles between the three magnificent floors and a red carpet welcome for all its high flying guests. The tummy of the A380 has been
turned into a relaxation zone and has a Turkish bath lined with marble only two millimeters thick to keep the weight down. There is also a unique
well-being room that has floors and walls turned into giant screens showing the ground below. Guests can enjoy a unique flying experience by
stepping on to the magic carpet as a cool scented breeze blows in the room. This majestic palace will have a private quarter which would have
five luxurious suites each boasting of king- size beds, entertainment systems and a prayer room featuring computer generated prayer mats
which always face Mecca. Besides private suites there is also a board room for mid-air business meetings and 20 'sleepers' - the equivalent
of First Class seats - for extra guests. The entire cost of this extravagant jet is touted to be ?300million ($482 million)!
