I was wondering how many kills the "reel/real" Red 5 had. I think Luke only got one TIE fighter. I guess it depends on how many "kills" destroying the Death Star is worth.
Posted by: Clark on December 1, 2005 08:12 AMI know one thing - no matter how many kills Luke Skywalker has, Christopher Blair has more!
(this is a quite obscure reference - bonus points to anyone who gets it.)

I think if you count all of the Tie Fighters, Bombers, Shuttles, personal, ground vehicles, yadda yadda yoda that were on the Death Star when it went KABLOOEY... well I don't have enough space on the MINI for all of those kill marks! So five will do (from an artistic viewpoint, five marks fills the space nicely). That is until I start shooting down Hummers!

Steve-o, It's not obscure to this computer game geek! I am not going to give it away, but I played game IV of that series through to completion in under three days and I was sick with the flu!

oh my
I've noticed that, all these mini's flashing lights behind me.
then I stop; fast.
Latter that night I have to go out and scrape the remainders out from under my H2. See the mini rolls up underneath and gets stuck. I dont realize it at the time. What a mess.
me
Hmmmm... If you can stop your 6,400lb H2 quicker than Will can stop his 2,524lb MINI, you are a better driver than, say, just about anyone.
Of course, if an accident doth ensue, it would be well to remember the example of the big Ford F-150 that couldn't. http://www.jengajam.com/r/Mini-Ford-Crashtest
Besides which, the MINI can swerve around you while you lock up your wheels. The Yukon behind the MINI might not be able to, though.
OMG, are we getting into another car argument?!? ;)
Posted by: Steve-o on December 1, 2005 09:51 AMYEAH! A GOOD OLD FASHIONED SUV BASH!!! We haven't had one of those in these here parts for a coons age! :-)
I do not tailgate, so the odds of my rear ending anything - especially something so monstrously huge - are practically nill. Now as to being rear-ended... that's another story. To be fair, I have to say that in all the times I have been rear ended or T-boned exactly half have involved mid-sized/small cars. Why, because the drivers were TAILGATING and the worst accident was when I was hit by a Mazda Miata! That one resulted in my having back surgery. The other half of the accidents happened because the drivers of the minivan and suv couldn't stop their hulking monsters and the guy in the pickemup truck was a non-english speaking illegal immigrant that went straight from a left turn only lane.
Now onto the SUV bashing! Let me get my big stick!
A Hummer could never catch a MINI unless the MINI was stopped and the driver was asleep. MINIs can out run and out maneuver any SUV out there, epsecially Infiniti QX56, Nissan Armada, all Hummers, Lincoln Navigator, and the Ford Expedition. MINIs can take turns like a steel roller coaster! First turn at high speed (we barely need to slow down) and that monster SUV would go off the road, roll over and big badda boom! To quote Queen, another one bites the dust! And I add another kill mark! ;-)
Oh, last night Jenne and I had an encounter with a woman driving an Escalade in a parking lot. The lane is wide enough for two 18-wheelers to pass each other. We were driving on the right side. The ass-clown woman in a vehicle that's obviously more than she can handle is in our lane heading right for us. I stop and turn on my high beams. She stops and waves for me to go around her! FRACK THAT YOU DUMB BEE-OTCH! Red 5 and I aint budging for some ass-hat SUV driver in the wrong lane. I'll sit there all night in defiance of of that bullshit! She gives me the big frustrated sigh and finally moves into the correct lane and goes around. I mouth to her, "DUMB BITCH" and then Jenne and I go and get some Pho. I think I'll add my sixth kill mark for that one.
Motor on,
--Will
Ahhhh... Will is the MINI-driving gangster, is he not? It makes Guy all happy inside thinking of Will stopping Barbara Babaganoush in her WIDE vehicle from taking it up both lanes...
Not to mention the pho... GUY LIKES!!!
Posted by: Guy LeDouche on December 1, 2005 11:04 AMWill, your a mess! Sounds like fun though! I just frown and shake my head at all those huge gas tanks going down the road! We have a neighbor down the road with a black H2. She is about five foot tall and ninety pounds! It's a riot just watching her get in the thing! LOL!
Posted by: Joe on December 1, 2005 12:33 PMHi Joe,
Does your neighbor use a ladder or did she have a special set of steps built to get into that monstrosity?
Motor on!
--Will
the deer are giving their very LIVES in the fight against SUV's! That's how much they hate 'em. Really. I've seen it on the way home!
