Shade tree mechanics need not apply
« on: April 17, 2007, 08:18:32 PM »


There's a reason everybody is using plastic covers these days. This looks like something out of Star Wars more than it looks like something you'd drive to the grocery store.

Anyone care to guess which modern high-end car this is out of?

When I saw you were the first to post, I figured you were here to chastise me for lifting content from Vortex again.  ;D :-X :P

You've got the right side of the Pacific. Just go a couple thousand miles north.

The "guess the car" thing was just an added bonus. I just thought it was kind of a cool thing to see.

Well, I briefly thought about saying "REPOST!"  but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.  ;D

I didn't really chastise you, did I? I thought I just gave you a bit o' crap as recognition of a fellow victim of the vortex.

And the next guy (thinking he's incredibly witty for doing the same thing that 100,000 other people have done) could follow up with

E

And so forth.

That is what he means by chastise.

Do you feel chastised yet?
