That was my impression as well. How many hours have they wasted practicing these pointless stunts? Don't they have jobs?

Yeah, I guess if you pull it off after 2147 failed attempts, you go crazy too. Should have a counter at the bottom to show number of attempts...

I used to be quite adept at beer pong and "quarters" (flipping a quarter into a shot glass). Meaning, I made a lot of people drink more than they wanted to... :D

This is what happens when you only drink Bud Light and travel to a country with real beer. You ruin it for the rest of us...

This is funny.
Even if this generator was 4000 watts, which it is too small to be, he would get about 2 miles of range for every hour the generator runs.

Funny how many businesses go sideways when you replace someone with hands on practical experience with a guy with an MBA...

The last paragraph says it all...

A unique 1961 Tempest auto show car featuring a special "flip-top" to allow spectators see the innovative Tempest drivetrain consisting of a slant 4-cylinder engine (half of a 389 V8) with a rear mounted transmission coupled to a flexible driveshaft (nicknamed 'rope drive') riding inside a hollow box called a torque tube. The 194.5 cid 4-cylinder "slant-4" had a surprising amount of power for its time, generating 155 hp when equipped with a 4bbl carb. Optional was the Buick 215 cid aluminum V8 that also put out 155 hp with a 2bbl carb and was about 150 lbs lighter than the 4-cylinder, but would be a relatively expensive option.

John DeLorean, as Chief Engineer, designed the low profile flexible driveshaft (later patented) and the original intent was to use the transaxle on 1959 Pontiacs, but small compact imports like the VW Beetle were gaining more popularity in America and GM needed to respond. The rear-engined Chevrolet Corvair debuted in 1959, and to appease the other GM divisions, a new model line, much smaller than current full-sized models offered by Buick, Olds, and Pontiac, would be quickly developed. Since the divisions were sharing a platform, DeLorean did what he would become famous for; making Pontiac stand out in the crowd. The innovative transaxle design was shifted to the 1961 Tempest, and along with the new "slant 4" (half a Pontiac 389) the Pontiac was a unique offering in the GM lineup.

People often overlook the fact that before GM lost market share and began to struggle in the 1990's, GM leaders often came from the ranks of engineering departments. Rather than being an administrator with a business degree from a elite college, guys like John DeLorean, Pete Estes, and many others understood engineering and design. - MCN

And let's not forget DeLorean was one of the "fathers" of the 1964 GTO, a LeMans with 389, 2, 3, or 4spd and 4 or 6bbl. :)

Yep. He was the dude that went against corporate guidelines about putting big engines in midsize cars, which turned Pontiac into a young mans sporty performance car from an old fogey's land yacht...amazing how these guidelines no longer matter if your idea sells a shit load of cars... The 1964 GTO with 389 and 3 deuces of Ronnie and the Daytonas fame was almost as fast as the same year corvette with the fuelie 327, but was $1k less and far less troublesome the the Rochester mechanical FI unit.

I was quite adept at the game. In high school we played regularly on Friday's after school. @Bobster , if you were good, there's a chance you would have still been slammed by the time the brews ran out because of our "drink" rule. See below.

It was a lethal game with our group because everyone was quite good. Even the girls! 👠 So the quarters stacked up in the cup and the person who lost the round was having to drink quite a lot. One of our rules was that you could never say the word "drink". If you did, you had to pound the equivalent of two drinks for your error. This includes any mention of the word "drink" at any point in the game by any individual, winner, loser, bystander or non-players. Easy to do somewhat at the beginning, but after everyone was pretty tipsy, remembering to not say "drink" when you won, was kinda hard to remember!
