Ferrari's New Thing And Awesome Commercial Idea

[FlyingRhenquest 1]

Over on slashdot they were talking about Ferrari's New Thing and it got me thinking; a while back I jokingly told a fellow skydiver that I refused to fall slower than the top speed of my car. Since that Ferrari tops out at a hair over 200, that'd be kind of a bitch.

Then I thought, well, if they pushed it out the back of a plane, maybe I could fall faster than it! That race would make for a pretty funny Red Bull commercial, don't you think? Someone should swing 'round the local Ferrari dealership and ask them what the car's terminal velocity is!

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Only if you're on your belly.

I once thought of suggesting to Top Gear that I could out-speed most cars without any motor, but then I realized they'd already done something like that so they probably wouldn't be interested.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Heh heh, kind of like the Mythbusters episode about a toy car beating a Dodge Viper if you pushed them both down a hill (Presumably while making engine noises.) The Viper won, but only bit a hair! I'm guessing its driver was better at making engine noises.

First one to land wins.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
