    2. He spells out the full name of the 599...
    3. He claims that his 599 is red.. there is no such color, there's Rosso Corsa,e tc
    4. He doesn't know how to spell ("there both awsome cars", "acheive ", "came ture")

    billabong2,

    I suggest you take your own advice and work hard, then achieve something, instead of making up stories.

    Other car guys will have more respect for you, even if you have a used Honda Civic Si.

    Yeah but his relevance < normal.

    How true is this: The conversation he responded to has long been dead.

    a: Not true at all
    b: Partially true
    c: "Relatively" true
    d: Mostly True
    e: True as hell

    Oddly enough, I didn't like the Blackadder I rented, except for the part where Rowan accidentally lobbed the King's head off. I laughed my ass off over that. For the rest of it though, not so much.

    Other than Jim Varney's utterly brilliant comedic character study of "the snake man" in Ernest Saves Christmas and the car crashes in The Big Lebowski, I can't think of any single scene that's much funnier.

    I'm not being sarcastic at all about Jim Varney. For a one-scene sucker-punch laugh, There's the snake man, Blackadder lobbing off the head and the part of the Big Lebowski where The Dude flicks a roach into a closed car window and crashes into the dumpster. I can't think of any others with the same exquisite comedic timing and deeply funny condensed content.

    I tried and tried to find the snake man clip on the Web. This was the best I could do... RENT IT.

    Film Studio Gate Guard: [advances toward's Ernest's truck to see what is under the tarp in back] I'd better have a look.
    Ernest P. Worell: [disguised as a snake rancher, referring to the venomous "snakes" under the tarp] Careful, now... them be "pizin"!
    [lunges at the guard, who gasps and winces]
    Ernest P. Worell: "Pizin" snakes! One minute, you be a strappin' young man like yerself, an' the next...
    [imitates a snake's fangs with his fingers]
    Ernest P. Worell: SNAP!
    [swipes his "fangs" at the guard, who again gasps and winces]
    Ernest P. Worell: Yer dead meat!
    Ernest P. Worell: [disguised as a snake rancher, referring to the venomous snakes in the back of his truck] Ya want one fer yer boy? I gave one to my boy last year...
    [removes his hat]

    That being said, Rowan Atkinson's monthly Octane column is an absolute joy to read.

    BTW, thanks 2c Citizen for coming to my rescue back there. I thought the phrase "a big terrorist" would clue people in to the tongue-in-cheek intent, but I forgot how many high-functioning American retards populating the internet would say such things seriously.

    I'm stupidest when I try to be funny.

    And oh yeah. Ferraris cost a lot to own.

    I disagree with you.

    My response?
    a. Not true at all.

    I just found this in a Google search yesterday, so it's new to me. And if it's new to me, then it's new to a lot of other people as well.

    Now I know, if I ever have enough money to buy one I won't do it . I'll get me a Cayman S with an LSD.
    I knew ferrari service was expensive but not THAT expensive.

    "seat control switch and wiper blades at $1,366.43." <-- That one really made me lol. That's about 1300$ over the acceptable cost.
    I like it that way. Keeps out the riff-raff.
