    So I just looked at a Mercedes SLR Mclaren

    and it was amazing.

    I was so surprised that we had one in little ol Gainesville Florida. My dad went to the dealer to get some stuff fixed on my sister Jeep Grand Cherokee and it was there in the show room, so he came back and got me.

    It was outstanding.

    I like how underneath the car it is all sealed.

    The headlights were beautifully huge haha. The way the door just pop open when you hit the button, and how the just flip the gearshift open. The side exhuast...the air vents.......everything was just amazing....

    Woe is me for not having $450,000.

    The bottom was completely sealed.

    You couldn't see any of the parts underneath because it was just one big solid piece of black that was bolted on so nothing was exposed.


    Unfortunately I didn't take any pics :\

    the bottom is covered by (what i imagine) carbon fibre. it areodynamically helps lower the pressure under the car (which i assume allows merc/mclaren to not need a rear wing)

    tell me if im wrong though, this was only my hazy guess on the morning of midcourse exams..

    you're right. Lower pressure under the car helps the car stick to the road due to a comparitively higher pressure pushing the car down.

    Going to extremes, its the same kind of method one of the Chapparells used (Ill guess 2...J?). They had two snowmobile fans to suck air from under the car and send it out the back....and it was said that "any line will do" and to forget the conventional racing lines.
    Finally something I shant be corrected on. Thanks to a small obession.

    I saw the correction part coming...just didnt see how.
    I shouldve known. It was as much a guess of how to spell the name, as it was which model it was. Was 2D right? Wait I guessed 2J. I think I was wrong.
    WAIT I did spell it correctly!!! But with an 's'! IT WAS A PLURAL!
    I know I know..I didnt punctuate it.

    No, you never spelt it right, you replaced the A with an E. Also the fact that you're mentioning it in plural does not account for the fact that you added on another L.

    You did, however, get the 2J right.

    Hahaha when I wrote that last post, I was comparing my spelling, to the spelling of your second example.

    I was comparing mine, to the Bold, Italic, Underlined version.

    It's "Chaparral", not "Chapparell".

    You've so far only used "Chapparell", which is incorrect.
    Thanks for all the fish

    Way to re-state a fact there.
