Awful accident in FL. Sounds to me like some kids trying to max out the speed!

That's the runway that's adjacent to John Travolta's home, as well as some others. Sad story.

There is a thread in Car Talk about this.

As far as I'm concerned the father of the kid who owned and drove the M5 should have his head examined. Who the hell gives their 18-year old son an '08 BMW m5 with 500 horsepower?

I need some practical guy help...

I have 3 beers from the party Saturday (thank you Dmitry) with tops that require a bottle opener.

I have NO bottle opener in the house!

How do I get the tops off w/o hurting myself?

Someone with way too much money and not nearly enough brains

He could have given me that car instead

I could have sold it and bought another S2000 tricked out for the track

Steve is the smartest
>>>Use the hole in a door jamb. Stick the bottle in sideways and apply horizontal pressure. Try not to spill.

Spilled a very small amount but did NOT hurt myself

Thanks!!
