Microsoft Money Leads To Street-Legal Porsche 959s
Ken Greenebaum writes "Soon there will be a 'new' Porsche 959 racing down highway 520 in Redmond. This
article in autoweek describes how Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Ralph Lauren teamed up with Bruce Canepa to make the 959 street legal. Best quote: Gates 'suggested to Canepa that perhaps they could federalize the car by buying a number of sacrificial 959s to "crash and test."' They modernized and increased the performance of the already super car to: 575HP making the 15 year old cars race to 60 in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 215MPH."
You're a fucking sad idiot regurgitating the same ignorant slashbot groupthink. Bill Gates' ideas are at the core of Windows? No, actually the ideas of the designers of VMS are at the core of Windows post-NT. Gates is far too busy having fun with his Porsche and the Justice Department and steering the company to ever-increasing profit.
While Linus... well, he gets a reasonable salary, and the adulation of sweaty fursuit-wearing lardturds everywhere. It's surprising just how disfunctional your OS can be when you don't actually have a job to do with it!
I guess so. Some of us prefer real sportcars, whereas others prefer japanese wannabes.

I've just ordered an RX-8 (hooray!) but I can't abide the thought that nobhead has destroyed several examples of a truly classic car just for kicks. The really depressing thing is that the 959 is probably an inferior road car to the current generation 911 Turbo, and thus should be allowed to go to the great car museum in the sky unmolested. Shit, why doesn't dickbrain just buy himself some houses in other countries where the 959 IS legal (like French chateau, an English stately pile or a German castle?) and drive them there? What's he gonna do next, buy the Nurburgring and put speed humps on it?
What a fucking WANKER, this makes Larry Ellison's attempted purchase of an F-16 look positively reasonable.
That was classic intercourse!
Ummm, what does this have to do with living in Europe or States? I mean, we were talking about Japanese car! I just have hard time comparing Mazda to an established and respected sportscar-manufacturer like Porsche. Well, judging from your comment, you are just another ricer ;).
