Bloviating Zeppelin: Pushing The Envelope, Part VIII:

Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Pushing The Envelope, Part VIII:

The human being has always pushed the envelope into and beyond the realms of danger. This is the eighth of various weekend postings displaying how restless Man is with the mundane and how he purposely crosses the threshold into danger willingly -- and sometimes unwillingly.

Car: 2004 Ford Mustang Cobra, 550 hp.

Bikes: Triumph Speed Triples.

Drifting is one of those things I don't get...
I see the skill and artistry, but other than increasing the value of Goodyear and Bridgestone stock, is there a reason for it?; Sat Jan 28, 07:30:00 AM PST
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: Not particularly. Drifting -- essentially an Oversteer condition -- is just a lot of fun.

Bloviating Zeppelin said...: NFO: closed course. Kids, don't try this at home!

Bloviating Zeppelin

: Name: Bloviating Zeppelin; Location: Sierra Nevada Mountains, Fornicalia, United States

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
