#3 Uh-huh. Light that baby up on the freeway and see where the splatter mark ends up. VW's are unsafe with the stock 47 raging horses, you really don't want to try 1450 hp...

#6 "I want to build a missile silo on my front lawn," he said. "It'll have those electric-opening silo doors and I'll have a set of lights for it. Then, at night, I open the silo doors and raise the missile up, with those lights on it."

This guy sounds like the ultimate cross between monster garage and future Darwin nominee. Me wonders if Homeland Security would approve of a Russian missile sitting in a silo in his front yard?
