Top Gear USA

OPPOSITE-LOCK — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 13:15:56 GMT

Searched and didnt find anything on this.

So, to those of you who don't know, Top Gear USA is making its third attempt to come to reality. It will be on the History channel, surprisingly.

Here's the lowdown and even a couple trailers they have already filmed. I have also heard they season 1 is filmed completely and the first episode will air this month, I think.

Look Out For Motorcycles

SCIONshane — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:40:10 GMT

Please? Some people just don't seem to care...

Long story short, I almost plastered the passenger side of some old man's S-10 today when he decided that he could turn left in front of me at an intersection while I just drove through him like a ghost. ........or maybe he didn't see me. Regardless, I ended up locking up the rear tire and sliding (luckily upright, and on the bike, lol) most of the way through the intersection, and he slammed on brakes as well, stopping JUST in time to where we barely missed each other by a few inches.

And to make it worse, that was the SECOND incident of the day. A little earlier at another intersection, I was about to turn right, and had my signal on mind you. The traffic had just cleared and I was about to leave the stop sign and make my turn when some girl blabbering her head off on the effin' phone flies up on my right side, barely stops at the intersection and then takes off without even so much as looking at me. Had the traffic cleared just a second earlier, giving me time to start rolling, she probably would've nailed me.

This isn't the first time these sorts of things have happened, and it won't be the last. But the guy in the truck today definitely takes the cake so far as my closest call yet. I have come to accept that it's just part of riding. What I really want is one of those extendable batons to carry around like some police officers use. I'm sure people would learn their lesson even faster if they lost a head/tail light or ended up with a couple nasty dents after cutting a biker off or better yet, almost killing him.

THE COVE, Taiji-Japan

THE COVE, Taiji-Japan

help save 23,000 dolphins a year from inhumane and useless slaughter in Taiji Japan by signing a petition and getting the word out and make people aware:

http://www.savejapandolphins.org/

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/724/210/624/

In the Cove they trap the dolphins and select a few to be sold off to aquariums and swim with the dolphin places then they take the rest of the dolphins that weren�t selected to the other side of the cove (where people can't see) and brutally kill them by stabbing them to death over and over till they die- all the blood turns the cove bright red. This happens every day from September to March.

The thing is dolphin meat cannot be eaten because it contains high levels of mercury which is poisonous to people. They are killing the dolphins and passing the meat off as whale meat.

In The Cove, a team of activists and filmmakers infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote village they witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.

The majority of the world is not aware this is happening. The Taiji cove is blocked off from the public. Cameras are not allowed inside and the media does not cover the story. It's critical that we get the word out in Japan. Once the Japanese people know we believe they will demand change.

Hey everyone, hows it goin?

So, I'm taking a bunch of marketing classes at the moment and its all "numbers numbers numbers." Here's where I need your help. I have a couple pages that need some love.

(mods, if this violates some rule, let me know!)

1. a mobile phone survey. my classmates and i made this survey up on the topic because we figured everyone could relate to phones somehow. it's totally anonymous. we'd really appreciate your submission! it's 22 questions. the survey site itself is a little ghetto but it works for us. thank you!

we're shooting for 1000 submissions and are currently at...129. :D every bit helps!

http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-su...UID=1447350607

2. we put together a food blog, "will blog for food." the theme being under $10. we need two things... hits on the blog itself, and "likes" on our facebook fan page. we're shooting for 200 hits and likes, respectively.

hits! just visit and leave if you'd like :]
http://wbff.wordpress.com

"like"s! don't worry, we'll delete ourselves out of your lives once our quarter is up! haha
http://www.facebook.com/pages/WillBl...14?v=info&ref=

anyway, thank you all very much and we really appreciate whatever you decide to do! it's for a good cause... and a grade! haha

http://jalopnik.com/5616815/secret-f...t-car-revealed you donk it out

So someone tried to break into a car at my house...

RedneckwithanxB — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 06:35:40 GMT

I wasnt home, but this is what I know happened

90 Chevy Astro, which normally sits on the street infront of the house, passenger side to the house

I have a 5 year old pitt bull named Fred (very important family member)

Dog started whining and barking at the front door. Parents were here and mom took him outside (hes off leash trained, and is the biggest pushover normally. Friends of mine come and go often and he doesnt even pick his head up off his chair)

Dog took off in direction of van, some ____tard took off running from van, dog gave chase to the end of the block (as he was trained to) and stopped

So I was notified, and came home instantly from where I was

The door wouldnt open... but heres what I found!

Headed to the junkyard tomorrow!

To everyone that says pitt bulls are vicious dogs, you obviously only know half the story

Now to make my dog a steak and go to bed!

So who has gotten any speeding tickets lately?

CXTKRS1 — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 09:55:15 GMT

Just got a ticket for doing 59 in a 40. Five lane rd which goes from a forty to sixty after you get out of the city and of course the sheriff is shooting his radar right into the forty zone.
