Somebody has to answer that Question even though there is no question mark :D
In some of your post you seem a little confused and that is fine because a lot of us are. In some posts you where hurting peoples feelings and that is not so 8) . I don't even think you did it intentionally so maybe in the future review your posts and make sure you really want to send that out before you hit the submit button. And also, if you are trying to use sarcasm, you have to put at least a :) behind it because people on a forum don't always get that otherwise.
I hope I could help :)

Why, why can we never be sure till we die
Or have killed for an answer,

Why, why, do we suffer each race to believe
That no race has been grander
It seems because through time and space
Though names may change each face retains the mark it wore.

Does anyone remember the scene in "gumball rally", when, after a failed speedtrap, sheriff Roscoe looks to the sky and asks :"why?"

The answer he got also applies here. But you may have to go watch the movie to remember.

the only "rally" movie worth watching. thats because it was about the cars. which, of course, invites the thread of what are the great car movies.
The obvious come up for sure...Bullit, Gone in 60 sec., cannonball run, fast and furious 1 thru 1238, the transporter, etc. there are some obscure ones that come to mind.
The driver with Ryan O'Neil, one of the first "full contact" car movies. How about the Stalone movie with the chopped Merc with the lake pipes. One of the 1st to peak my interest in cars was the old 77 Sunset Strip TV show where Ed Burns drives a Bucket T rod. That reminds me of all the old Disney movies with a plethora of cool cars. (beach party movies, flubber (stunt drivers with big lincolns skidding around on wet pavement). The classic"To catch a thief" with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. still dont know what that car was. I think a Sunbeam, maybe. Then that brings up all the great Bond Cars. Lets not forget the Elvis movies which introduced us all to road racing. Then there is the eclectic selection of 50s and 60s B-movies about teenagers terrorizing all american families in Station Wagons with their hot rods. Everyone freaked out except the teenage girl in the station wagon who is ready to run off with these hoodlums on first sight.
I'll save outlaw motorcycle movies for another time. :mrgreen:

I think your intention is more than simply to satisfy your curiosity.

JimB, I wouldn't be so sure. In the last several weeks, I've seen enough posts from 218 to think that even HE is not clear what his intentions are.

I'm wondering if he has a cat who keeps walking on his keyboard and posting on his behalf? 'cuz most of his posts make little or no sense at all. :roll:
