New one for your list, Beck: Oxia - Natural energy boost:
What is Oxygen (O2)?
Oxygen (O2) is the single most essential element that sustains all life on earth. It is also a powerful detoxifier and provides a natural energy boost to all plants and animals, especially humans.
How is Oxia Personal Oxygen different from normal atmospheric air?
Normal dry atmospheric air in a clean and unpolluted environment is usually made up of 21% Oxygen (O2), 78% Nitrogen (N2) and 1% Argon, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and various other gases.
However, normal atmospheric air in polluted environments in which most of us live, such as most capital cities in the United States, contain much higher levels of dangerous pollutants including Carbon Monoxide (CO), Lead (Pb), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3), Particulate Matter (PM) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2).
Your Oxia Personal Oxygen dispenser contains none of these contaminants or pollutants, and also contains a much higher concentration of pure Oxygen (O2).

Seems like you can erase yourself off the internet completely. Certain person not naming names, basically was a overnight internet celebrity, then poof gone as if they didn't exist. Even image searches and stuff like that turn up nothing.

Okay, everyone, could you please promise me something?
If we still know eachother when we're all old and rickety, I would really appreciate it if you'd cut the shit and tell me straight up if I'm being a total asshole to everyone... regardless of how much it'd possibly hurt my feelings. And I mean it, if I become a really rotten, crotchety old lady, TELL ME. Tell me I'm a big jerk, and that I don't deserve the friendship/love of my friends and family. Tell me I'm burning the bridges I've spent the last who knows how many decades of my life building. Tell me I'm pushing people away, and tell me, in no delicate terms, that crying wolf will only lead to bad results. fuck. ... or maybe just send a psychiatrist my way and tell me I need to sort some shit out before I'm allowed to talk to normal people again.

Hey, if you want, come on over to my place tonight. Baby Owen and I will be rocking out until dawn breaks. We could use some company. Also, please feel free to call people to come over here. I'm a little busy with Owen trying to eat everything he can grab.

Well my buddies at work were debating this little piece of car trivia for a while today. And in response Par most european cars that could perform similarily to these vehicles cost way too much. Roughly 10,000 - 30,000 more for similar performance. Not including european super cars which would be better performing yet but out of the price range of the cars listed here. The Vette in fact cost as much as a new Acura Rl roughly 70,000 range. A BMW 7 series sport sedan cost this much as well but the slowest car on the list, Shelby Mustang GT 500 would easily whoop its ass in both straightline as well as around curves. So essentially the best bang for your buck type cars are either Japanese or Domestic.
Now there are two camps obviously when it comes to car debates like these. The first camp as you can guess is the domestic loyalist. They obviously pick only American brand to represent the "ownage" car. If there is one thing american manufacturers can do well is build big, powerful muscel cars. They boast huge horespower gains but lag somewhat in the handling department. The Vette, Shelby, and Yankel are an exception to this rule, as they are both fast and manuverable. However when compared to there Japanese couterparts they are very sluggish indeed.
The Japanese or more correctly import camp believe in handling as well as power. These cars are fast and even though they can't boast such high torque or horsepower numbers as the domestics their handling is astounding. For example the GT-R which is all wheel drive as well as all wheel steering, it could probally out turn a vette, at any speed. As you can probally tell I belong to the import camp. This lead to some really heated debate at work today. Unquestionably the fastest car on this list is the Supra twin turbo. Its acceleration is astounding, and it's top speed is only outmatched by the vette.
However I'll always have a soft spot for the mighty GT-R. It'll probally own all of them because:
1)Handling like nobodies buisness. With all wheel steering and all wheel drive it can out turn all the cars listed here which are all limited to rear wheel drive, and in fact most of these cars don't have limited slip differentials. The FD does but doesn't have the punch that the GT-R has.
2)All round one of the fastes cars in the world. What I mean by this is that it has a very high top speed, and it can reach it in a short period of time unlike the other cars which are fast but take some time to get there. It is the broad usable range of accleration that the GT-R has that gives it such a advantage. Some cars are only good from 0-60, the GT-R is good from 0-160 and everything in between. It has ready acceleration and can take most cars from a drop or a dig.
3)Its freakin legacy! Winning every race that has been thrown against it and winning the JGTC so many times they had to give it's own class otherwise no one else could win. And in Japan everytime you win they give you a weight penalty for the next race. That's 10 pounds of penalty for each race! Even weighted down the GT-R could not be beat.
4)It looks cool!
Sorry to bore you. If you read all that, give yourself a pat on the back.
