They scoped my pharynx through my nose though so I got to see what the tear looked like on the video screen, huge bloody abscess.

:ugh:

Let me add this to keep the thread going (following srika's example; click for 1920):

Just like how I want an M3, I dont care if it carries the name that BMW owners are douchebags.

no offense to anyone in here lol

yeah, I agree with that too. there are certain cars I've always wanted to own, and if I was in the position, I know I'd own it. and I wouldn't care what anyone else thought. yes, that is pretty much totally opposite what I said earlier. lol

It's all good gents, I'm 90% back to normal and that's the most important thing in the end.

Now, I'm optioning my 991 with the Aqua Blue metallic with grey interior

Once the adrenaline wore off and I couldn't raise my foot, I knew I was f-cked. Had emergent reconstructive surgery within 20 hours. Worst part of the surgery was the f-ckin anesthesiologist ripping my pharynx (throat) when he intubated me. Friday night surgery and he was prolly in a rush because his wife was bitching at him to pick up the kids or something. The surgery itself was successful and I'm healing twice as fast as expected:wish: Didn't even need physical therapy which is a good thing since I can save coin for my 991 LOL.

Sorry to derail some more. I have always thought that would I've to be the most painful injury, and to hear you say that happens to BBall players kills me. I am starting a public rec league next Wednesday, and I dont need to hear shit like that. Not that you shouldn't have said it, but I just didn't want to hear it. Ignorance is bliss. I thought rolled ankles were my biggest worry. Do braces help prevent this type of injury?

Shit also sucks about the tear. I know a girl who got rolled over on by a UTV and nearly died. During the life flight they broke her jaw intubating her. :whyme: But I guess they saved her life. :shrug:

I don't post any picture smaller than (approx) 1280 x * (unless it can resize to 1280 well). Does anyone here still have a 1024 x monitor?

Oh, and yes, that photo is quite impressive :thumbsup:

Funny how a couple years ago I was never fond of porsches looks. Mainly the 911, but now I'm like drooling over all porsches!! I saw a nice panamera the other day too (yes a panamera lol)

But those GT3 RS/4.0 pic amazing!!

knight rider 09-11-2011 07:09 AM

^^ I am just the opposite. I used to love Porsches now, not so much. Don't get me wrong, I think they are original, good looking and worthy but they are not as "exotic" as they once were IMO. Well, excluding the GT3 RS and CGT. I think Porsche did the right thing by getting rid of the 928 and 944 and sticking to the 911 and then they started making non-911s again... The 928 was a cool car and the 944 was pretty basic, but still cool looking.

...on Gran Turismo 5. :tomato:

In all seriousness, those are really cool. Basically, a very limited number made to get past the race rules, if I remember right.

It's coming, but we probably won't see it in production til' late 2012. Rumors are that a concept will appear at Geneva next year.

In the mean time, here's Lamborghini's latest offering; Super Trofeo Stradale.

Personally, I think it should have just been called the Superleggera R or something. The Super Trofeo cars are so much more aggressive looking, that I figured a Stradale version would have reflected it more.

Yeah, yet another version...they had a Blancpain, Super Trofeo...and now this. Still, lovely color scheme. :)


BTW, the pics and news are in the Automotive News section!

The Blancpain Edition design, personally, is how this car should have been designed. It's exactly what I would expect from a Stradale version. Unfortunately, they're incredibly rare to see; almost no photos exist of these cars outside the press shots.

:woot: I was right - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_R390_GT1. Two road cars built for the homoligation rules so they could run this model at Le Mans.

One of them is stored at Nissan's Zama Facility but I wonder who has the other one :scratch:
