Like most guys, I'm obsessed with speed. The faster the better. One of my favorite tv shows is Top Gear. Top Gear is a BBC show that tests supercars, performs crazy stunts, and lets stars race around a track in a "reasonably priced" car. (it's a horrible low-end Chevy)
Anyway, in this clip, they set out to top out the fastest car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron. It supposedly tops out at 253 MPH. That's crazy fast! It has a whopping 1001 hp to boot! I would love to drive a Veyron, but sadly I can't quite afford one. Also, there were only 220 Veyrons made in the 3 years it was produced. It is priced at a lovely $1.7 Million!
Please enjoy this great clip as Captain Slow, James May, attempts to go faster than anyone has ever gone in a street legal car.
Musical Monday - 2/22/10
This weeks selection is a song from one of the best movies ever! Well...maybe not ever, but it is an awesome movie. 'O Brother Where Art There?' is a funny and entertaining portrayal of Homer's 'Odyssey'. The soundtrack from 'O Brother' is such a great collection of songs. I love every song in the movie, but of course the best song in the move is the great tune, 'Man of Constant Sorrow' by The Soggy Bottom Boys. This song makes me grin every time I hear it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Do I Need New Tires?
What do you think? Do I need new tires?
That's what I thought...nah, they're good for a few thousand more miles. Not really. I felt like I was driving a race car with my street slicks. Don't worry though, I got some better tires yesterday.
Musical Monday - 2/15/10
For this edition of Musical Monday I want to introduce an indie/alternative Christian band from Tooth & Nail records, Fair. They are a great band who just put out their sophomore album last Tuesday, which is amazing but I'm going to introduce to you one of the first songs I heard from them. Listen to how the lead singer's voice is so hypnotic and infectious. I could listen to both their albums on repeat all day long. The albums are so smooth and catchy. Take a few minutes and listen to 'Carelessness' by Fair and if you want to check out the rest of the album, you can go to lala.com and listen to the album in it's entirety once before you have to buy it.
