Yeah, one of my employee's dad has a new z06, and you'd be tempted to think that he just bought it because he can afford it, but he's actually taken several racing and driving courses. It's so cliche to come up to an old guy in a nice car and think "he's just old and rich and doesn't know anything" but you'd better watch out!

Speaking of "you'd better watch out", I remember someone else famous: Santa Claus! How else can you explain that he gets all those presents out so fast through all kinds of weather and over all kinds of terrain? Sure, he has his sleigh, but his team of delivery elves drives a squadron of specially prepped Evos to get the presents into international "no-fly" zones where his sleigh is prohibited.

Pretty sure this was him, I watched him face plant at the Dew action sports tour in Orlando, knocked out a bunch of teeth. He tried to do a double backflip over the box jump.

That was me That sucked I knocked out my two left front teeth but the thing that sucks even more is that I knocked my two right front teeth out 3 weeks earlier! Were you at the TD waterhouse or did you see it on TV?

All you guys trashing Paul Walker for having a Skyline. Did anyone see it in Sport Compact Car? The thing is a beast. Built motor and completely worked suspension setup for road racing. The thing looked amazing and was put together with all high quality stuff. No celebrity bling at all. The skyline in 2F2F was definitely not his, its Craig Leiberman's. He bought it from the owner of MotoRex and completely riced it out, then put it in that crappy movie.

Questions like this make me laugh. I always think of the idiots on cribs with 26" wheels on their Caddies and big sound systems. If I was rich and on that show, I'd spend the entire segment in my garage showing off my crazy modded Evo, Cobra, Civic, and Lamborghini. I'd call out every other celeb to race any one of my cars with any of theirs (except Wyclef of course with his McLaren F1 and Zonda).
