Great news: I'm still alive!

It just came to my attention that Ferrari built a station wagon, or as the British call it for some fucking reason a "Shooting Brake". Fucking hell Britain, get Parliament to change that shit it sounds completely asinine.

Anyway, before I become too distracted over dumb car naming conventions I've got to show you guys this:



Sultans and oil barons tend to show off how much money they have by plating Mercedes-Benzes in white gold or making fancy shapes in the ocean, so by this standard a Ferrari station wagon is pretty subtle. Ferrari asked for 1.5 million dollars to make a single car, so what does the Sultan of Brunei do? He buys six of them. Why does a man need six station wagons? To better balance out the other 5,994 cars, I guess.

When I get Sultan-rich (because it's happening based on the strength of this blog alone) I'm going to commission Ferrari to build an extra-wide 456 with a bench seat that sits three across and call it the Ferrari 457 America. Here is an artist's concept:



And after I take delivery of those, I'll ask Lamborghini to make a PopeMobile, as seen below in this (terrible) conceptual rendering:



He'd be all "it's-a getting mighty hot in here arrivederce!" and I'd be like "Shaddup the engine's right under your feet quit yer bitchin' and start your forgivin'." The man would be going SO FUCKING FAST he'd better be giving out his blessings at record speed. I'm talking "Guinness Book of Records for Fastest Holy Handwaves Ever."

In other news, apparently Stan Lee has become so angry at the fact that Japan decided to stop doing action animes in favour of those that ogle nine-year-olds that he decided to make his own hero cartoon, appropriately titled Heroman.



Here's hoping Stanime is a success.
