Baka's Herculian Efforts and Cycloptic Wizardry

I half rolled an R-8 while practicing for a Gymkhana event coming up.
It
was a hard right to hard left that got me sliding on my right side. I
got out by way of the driver's side window, swore every word in the
book, grabbed the passenger roof edge and heaved the car upright. The
car's total weight was under 2,000 pounds so it wasn't a totally
Herculean feat (with a touch of Cycloptic Wizardry thrown in for good
measure), but the adrenaline of being that ****ed off didn't hurt
either. I got in and drove it home and never had any delusions about
driving in one of those events in a Renault again.

Have you ever seen a Renault R-8?
They are lighter than VW bugs.
I had to put out about 300 pounds of dead lift to right the car and that
is hardly Herculean.

Nurk,
Go see a shrink.

300 pounds dead lift, ok. Even your underage flock could handle that load. You know, the ones that climb trees!...:-)
