I know, what's wrong with me? I just hated seeing that as my top video. I chucked that one and the "tossing salad". Funny I slipped rank by 20 slots and still haven't gotten back! Feel free to resubmit either, they're good for at least 20 votes each, just don't promote mine!

At first blush it seems wrong (esp. because it rarely ever happens), but that's the normal behavior when a discarded video gets promoted regardless of vote count.

As soon as it gets a vote it'll get published. Why'd you discard that big earner anyway?

Thanks. And nice top hat on your cat.

Hey Lucky,

Critttter promoted this from my discard pile, and it promoted to "unsifted". Isn't that sorta weird?

Oh, and nice hat.

Oh, and nice hat.

What's odd is that it promoted to "unsifted", so I didn't even get anything out of it? When I discarded that and the Tossing Salad video, I dropped something like 20 slots in rank (rank is based on votes). Still haven't gotten it back.

Keeping Schmaw Real. OK, I'm not really planning on driving you to the edge with my new powers. I'm just testing the limits of dis-sifting and un- discarding. Sorry, Victim.

Oh for goodness sake. Thanks. Now I cannot be accused of being high-brow.

Or haven't you seen his reviews? The man hates North America, and Americans in particular. There isn't a single thing about the continent he has ever shown any respect for beyond the scenery.

Jeremy Clarkson is an ass, there is no doubt. He'd probably admit it. And his view of America is unfair and stereotyped. But he did spend a lot of his own money to buy a Ford GT. And he credits the Ford Mustang as being the most important car ever.

ummm what about the Viper? or the Mustang?

Young Americans - David Bowie / Lyrics

They pulled in just behind the fridge
He lays her down, he frowns
Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, shed have taken anything, but

All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right
She wants the young American

Scanning life through the picture windows
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford mustang, but
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries where have all papa's heroes gone?

All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right
She wants the young American

All the way from Washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?

All night
He wants the young American
Young American, young American, he wants the young American
All right
He wants the young American

Do you remember, your president Nixon?
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
Or even yesterday

Have you been an un-American?
Just you and your idol singing falsetto bout
Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro-sheilas
Aint that close to love?
Well, aint that poster love?
Well, it aint that barbie doll
Her heart's been broken just like you have

And
All night
You want the young American
Young American, young American, you want the young American
All right
You want the young American

You aint a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimps got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Blacks got respect, and whites got his soul train
Mamas got cramps, and look at your hands ache
I heard the news today, oh boy
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
And, aint there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
Break down and cry?

All night
I want the young American
Young American, young American, I want the young American
All right
I want the young American
Young American
Young American, young American, I want the young American
(I want with you, I want with you want)
All right
(you want it, I want you you, you want I, I want you want)
Young American, young American, I want the young American (I want to want, to want, to want , to want I, I want you)
All right
(Lord I wanted the young American)
(young American)
Young American, young American
I want the young American
Mmmmmm mmm

The P-51 Mustang is one of the most beautiful sounds on face of this planet.
oh how that Rolls Royce purrrs.

Must be American.

wtf is that? You think all Americans race around hitting themselves in the head with a shovel? Nothing but fucking genius philosophers up there in Canada eh?


Not at all, but that wasn't a snow shovel so it cut down on the options.

>> ^xxovercastxx:
I'd have guessed turbo... I only hear the whistle of air-pressure, no supercharger whine.


Turbos dont whine at such low speeds or even when standing almost still. Even sequential turbo setups (which start at low RPMs) dont whine like that. Its definately a supercharger, since you can hear how the sound is directly dependent on the revs. Turbos are also much higher pitched. Also, turbo charged cars are far harder to drive in such maneuvers anyway. Much less predictable.
And thats surely no air-pressure (you mean air intake).

A small improvement, but I'll take it. Now I just need to find five more like that.
