Your friend doesn't splurge much on grass seed or fertilizer does he? I've seen a thicker crop on Dinsdales dome for petes sake.

Agreed, Luther, but it would be the only ideal place for Rack Fu to avoid my wrath.

I definately wouldn't park a $45,000 SUV on it either.

Nice enough little retro bike...

Pretty faithful recreation....but for one galling detail: That little upswept bend in the header leading into the exhaust.

Myself, I really couldn't care less but the cognescenti simply can't abide by that graphic departure from Classic Bonneville Styling...

Just FYI - BMW is one of my clients, and in a brand meeting they told us it's actually "bimmer". Yes, the entire world is pronouncing it wrong.

Oh, and BMW cars are NOT "bimmers". That only refers to the motorcycles, which you got correct!

Luther,

I’m pretty sure that’s Sam’s yard you’re dissing. I recognize the building as the little hideaway he built in his back yard. But yeah, that yard is in need of truck load of sirfindafold posts.

That's pretty stubborn of them. If, like you said, the entire world is calling it one way, it seems like they would've just said, "fuck it, we'll call 'em Beemers".

Well I guess they kind of accept it now, but just informed us that originally it was named "bimmer." I don't think they go around correcting people or anything. ;)

It actually looked nice down there at one time:

The wife had all her little flowers and crap everywhere. Now I've got mimosas and crape myrtles hidin' the place somewhat.

A cold beer...rockin' on the porch...a little Deadstring Brothers playing...and my dog layin' next to me. Doesn't get much better'n that. For an old fart anyway.
Say Sam, not that you are retarded or dying of something soon or losing your mind, but have you ever considered applying to this Image

If you made up a good video D_Copperfield style you could probably get a nice sized house and lot.

I'm guessing anything involving this guy isn't quite Sam's style...

don't be hatin' on SS's crib. It might be rather modest looking, but, the fact that it does not appear to have wheels classifies it as an upscale housing in LA. That's lower alabama for you ignern't mutherfukkers.

A free rack to the first troll to wytch a still into that pic of SS's spread. extra credit for a fridge and couch on the porch.

You aren't really that stupid, are you, Jess?
Of course he is.

Damn SS, I thought my 10X12 shed out back was pretty cool, that freakn kicks ass. I really should put a porch overhang on it ala "Down South," most definately a great place to drink a few cold ones.

In North America, however, BMW cars are commonly called "bimmers," (in the German language, the correct pronunciation of the term "bimmer" is "beemer.")

“Beemer" is adapted from the early-20th-Century British pronunciation of BSA, another motorcycle that was often racing against BMWs. Over time, the term became closely associated with BMW motorcycles, however.

Eventually the beemer pronunciation of the word was attached almost exclusively to its auto. And from there, Beemer transmogrified into a cornucopia of uncontrollable cross-cultural translations.

In Russia, for example, the car is considered a Bummer – which, in the U.S., is analogous to a bad drug experience.
