There's a new Ferrari 430 Scuderia out ($270,000) that gets 11mpg (city), and I thought - OMG! What's the Fuel Efficiency on that Countach?!
We have got to tell JZB to stop driving that thing. "Dude - you gotta find another mode of transportation, man!"
There's an article in Newsweek - The Real Italian Stallion. It's a nice red color like the one that KMM is leaning against on the homepage of this site.

ps - I've been contemplating for months just what sort of music JZB listens to when he's driving that thing - you know, when he pulls up to Casa Blanc and tosses the keys to the valet, what sound is coming out of the stereo? But in the article it says that the exhaust pipes are really loud. The exhaust has been tuned to make a "louder, richer, sound." Oh well. But maybe JB has super hearing? ;-)

Something tells me JB wouldn't care what kind of gas mileage it gets (saw an article on the web yesterday that says performance cars such as the Corvette, etc could be a thing of the past in 10 years because of all the emissions control laws coming on the books. That would be sad!!). The thing about having a Countach, a Maybach, etc. is status. It says "I'm someone you don't want to mess with".
As for the music..........this is more up your alley than mine, but whatever it would have to be loud, with lots of bass. Not hard-core rap (we're not talking BDB here), but music to drive fast by.........

I know that, of course. I was speaking with tongue firmly in cheek!
Can you see me going toe-to-toe with JB saying "Dude - we're green here, OK?" Waving my finger in his face? (He's like a half a foot, or more, taller than me!)

Yes, I can picture it. You, with finger pointing, or poking in chest, him just looking down that arrogant nose.......... and then him saying as only JB can say, "You wouldn't say that if I let you drive."
That would be it for me, I would cave so fast, grab those keys & be GONE!!!

You crack me up. Yep. JB would give me that wolfish smile, say those words, and I would cave too! ;-) Green? Who needs green when you can be driving a red Italion Stallion!

Claudia, you can drive the red Italian Stallion, but riding the Basque/Pict fighter might be more fun. HEHE!! :anim_naughty-vi:
(sorry, couldn't resist being a little naughty there!!! I guess I just got marked off Santa's list!)
....UUUUUhhhh no Lis, that would be MOI getting knocked off Santa's list...:anim_naughty-vi:

Yeah.. I was kind of disappointed when Daegus was trolling around in his Hummer.... 6 miles per gallon??.. and he is supposed to be a druid that is caring for the earth?
While fast cars are sexy.... it is a shame that that they can't figure out a way to be green.
It matters.... you know?
I know.. it's fiction... it is fantasy... we all get tired of the dark reality that can be "real life"... and we just want to forget all the troubles....
But I think caring for the planet IS sexy and important....
