Basically, it's a lack of understanding the basic laws of physics!

 Salesman, my man, is there any cool car you have not owned? Maybe we should have a contest to see who has owned the most coolest cars on here. I think 3b has mentioned a few classics he's terrorized Vermont with back in the day.

Well...lets see! 1965 Chevrolet El Camino 327 CU.IN 300 HP Haul butt car! 1967 427 Yellow Vette Fast Back.. 435 HP. A 1968 427 Green Vette "Roadster"  435 HP. A 1970 Pymouth Duster..A 1969 Roadrunner..Had a 57 Chevy once however 56 is my choice! 1955 Ford Pick-up "Thumbs up"!! Plus a few other older cars/trucks over the years. 59 Ford Fairlaine/60 Thunderbird/51 Studebaker (fun Ol'Car)..plus 1/2 dozen I can't recall at 1:05AM Albuquerque time here on Platewire!

Dont drive drunk!

No, I was in the suburbs of Philadephiia when that happened. I moved to Vermont in 1980.

Salesman has me beat by a longshot!

 1-e-an-da?

Salesman has us all beat. The best I can muster up is a couple of '73 Buick Rivieras (with 455s don't cha know) and my rebuilt '87 Chevy Stepside.

is how you count music in 16th's 

Makes sense!

The young generation that knows nothing of physics sees something done on the screen, then they get drunk or stoned and go try it themselves, only to kill themselves and/or others. 

Pathetic kids!  Back in my day, we learned our physics the hard way... by watching hours and hours of Bugs Bunny.  That's how I know that if I run off the end of a cliff, I have about a 1-2 second "mulligan" period to scamper back to safety.  Duh.

I learned from the Three Stooges! 

It was all the "Beep-Beep" ROAD RUNNER Cartoons! Had a 69 Road Runner back then..the horn went Beep Beep..It was a pretty cool car...383 CU. IN.

Oh forgot to mention...I didn't know any thing about those FIZZIX, but I sure knew alot about Girls! Whippie!

 Bugs Bunny physics? Three Stooges science? You people are scary, I have Wile E. Coyote on my laptop display and a Three Stooges calender on the wall behind it.  I think I fit in here.
