Crazy.

Here are a few more front engine dragster pics from my vast photo archives (that is just various cool (at least I think they are) pics I've found on the 'ol web). The 60's and 70's must have been pretty ridiculous. And I'm just talking about on the dragstrip. They were more than likely using motorcycle wheels and tires on the front with huge slicks that they would smoke the whole trip down the 1/4 (if they kept the wheels on the ground, see pic 2). Their "safety" equipment, while I suppose it was modern for the time, probably didn't really help that much. I mean, look at what is in front of these guys. If one little bolt happens to shear off in the engine, that thing ends up going through your head. There wasn't a windshield or barely a roll cage for that matter. Just some goggles and maybe a mask. And what is with the chick? A bikini and high heels? At a dragstrip? Nice. That was probably reason enough for most of these guys.

Why bring Hawaiin Punch into this?

If this video doesn't make you want to get a mid-90's Regal and turn it into a bubble donk (google that, it's ridiculous) with lambo doors, I don't know what will. I wonder why no one put Coke on there car? Maybe they're straight edge or something. I'm going to put Tab on my donk (that doesn't sound right but it sounds better than putting Mountain Dew on my donk).

Draggin'

Found this on Church of Choppers blog yesterday afternoon. If you were quick enough, you caught this without this very insightful text (and you're probably wishing it stayed that way, but you're not that lucky). It should be pretty obvious that this is the cockpit (I said cock . . . and yes I am 13) view of a front engine dragster. This one actually doesn't seem like it would be too tough to see around the blower. But once the front wheels get off the ground it won't matter too much.

He'll backflip anything that rolls.

Tricycle on MEGA Ramp - Travis Pastrana (backflip) - video powered by Metacafe
I'm sure you've seen this video before since it is a few weeks old already (yeah, I should have posted it when I first seen it when it was still new but I had something else going on. Like what? I'm not sure but it probably wasn't that great.). Basically, if you give any rolling object to Travis Pastrana and a big enough ramp (seriously the ramp in the video is huge, I hope it wasn't built solely for this stunt because that would be a waste of a huge ramp. I mean you could take a skateboard down it, a bike, a motorcycle, and/or probably a battleship) and he'll do a backflip. I'm just waiting for the video of him backflipping his rally car.

"Where the fuck does this shit come from?"

I think we all have ran across something on the internet that makes you say "Where the fuck does this shit come from?". I'm sure even Scott has said this before and he has seen the end of the internet (you know, the sign that says "End of Internet"). . . twice. I seen this video on someone else's blog and thought it was funny, so here it is on my little space. Hope you enjoyed.

Perfect winter car?

And you guys thought this would be about an FJ. I had to post something to push the Focus pics a little lower on the screen. I figured this was worth posting. Actually, I have been fairly slow on the posting front for the new year. I'll try to do more (yeah, right) but I haven't really found anything worthwhile.

It Starts With One Vinyl Sticker: A short play written by Scott

Ryan: (doing the pee-pee dance) COME OOOONNNN, PICKUPPICKUPPICKUP

*ring*click*

J.C.W. call center operator: Hello and thank you for calling J.C. Whitney, your favorite supplier of stick-on automotive garbage. How can I help you sir or ma'am?

Ryan: I NEED ONE OF EVERYTHING, NOW GOD DAMMIT! (twitching)

J.C.W.O: Ah, it's you again Mr. H! People like you are the only reason we are still in business.

Robocop Rikey Fried Chicken

First, the title I stole for FilmDrunk. I seriously doubt I could have came up with something better and I dare you to try. Apparently this commercial is from Korea (don't know if it's North or South but my guess is that Kim Jong Illest Motherfucker You Know probably wouldn't approve of this, so there's your answer) and from the 80's. My favorite part is when he steals the fridge, probably to go have his way with it and create Robofridge's or Fridgecops.

Who want's to help me build a ramp?

I completely forgot about this little stunt thing was going on last night. This is the same dude that jumped a football field last New Year's Eve (if I remember correctly, I think it had a post here). Apparently he thought that wasn't enough. So back to Vegas he goes to step-up to the top the Arc d' Prettyfuckintall Thing and then drop off of it back to the ground. What the hell is wrong with you to even think this is a good idea? Now don't get me wrong, this guy is the definition of "ruler" but this is pretty ridiculous. Then there is this guy:

Backflipping a truck? It's good to know that awesome stuff like this is still happening even with all the safety conscious people and with the economy going in the shitter (remember in Christmas Vacation, Cousin Eddie "Shitter's full!). Yeah, this isn't like Evel Knievel wearing just a leather suit and a pretty thin padded helmet. But just think of how many people these two stunts made it through without some big wig saying no to it. But maybe it helps that these were sponsored by Red Bull (in case you couldn't tell). There is probably a bunch of dudes hopped up on Red Bull and just throwing money at stuff like this. Really, who else could sponsor this kind of stuff? Anyway, I'm off to build some crazy ramp to front flip the FJ.

Oh and I found out how to embed the HD videos from the Youtube. Awesome. But they do take a little longer to load, so just go grab a bag of Dorito's while your waiting.
