I actually only remember one word in Klingon. And, yes, somewhere on my shelves is a Klingon-English dictionary. I just was always too lazy to learn a language that I thought was pretty useless for getting girls into bed.
In retrospect, since I only remember a handful of words in German, which I took for two freaking years in High School, I could have skipped German for all it's done me.
And I now regret not learning Klingon, since Cons are much more popular ( they exist ) than when I was in High School, and like Cougars, Cosplay was something I didn't know existed when I really needed to know....
And, to be fair, Sindarin would have been a good choice to learn when I was 15 too, since Ladies that love Elves enough to learn Sindarin are a really fun kind of crazy.
( I long since resigned myself to falling for crazy ladies. The trick, I have learned, is to pick the ones that may attack you with a sword when angry, but won't hide an ice pick in your bed. You can yell "I'm Sorry!" a lot more when running than when pinned to a mattress )
A buddy & I have been talking about doing Hot Rod magazine's Speed Week. A thousand road miles, drag racing every day. No chase crew, no car on trailer. ( but you can drag a small one behind your drag car with jack & tools & drag slicks ) Multiple classes, and the fastest cars are in the 7 second range... breaking into the 6's. Damn. When I last drag raced, the big deal was getting into the 10s. A seven second 1/4 mile was Top Fuel Rail speed.
I don't currently have the budget for a race car. But that's no problem, since looking costs nothing, and we've been looking on Craigslist for likely candidates. It's been fun.
Now Dodge has this monster, since apparently the Hellcat wasn't enough madness. The technology is fantastic, and the teaser public relations campaign is even better. Sure, it's a Halo car, only 3000 will be made, and it's real purpose it to get people into the show room. And show off.
The New top of the line Camaro is a Track day car par excellence, with magnetic ride and absurd power. The Challenger has no reputation for handling, ( well, it does, but not a good one ) and this emphasis on drag racing lets FCA show off without being in direct competition. Brilliant. I have no idea how they convinced the top brass to let this Demon happen, ( they did the Hellcat off the books and then sprung it on management ) but I am glad they did even though, like most performance cars, I'll never be able to afford it. Cool toys.
I have bets out that this will be the next "Cars & Coffee burnout-crash cliche" displacing the Mustang.
