Driving A LeMans Race Car To Dinner!

Whilst in Kansas, I got the amazing opportunity to jump behind the wheel of a Porsche 917 recreation by Kraftwerk... one of the most comprehensive replicas you can buy of the iconic 1970s race car. Even better, I get to drive it on the downtown streets of Wichita to dinner!

[@brianbethea3069]

@@DrkStmpunkr It's funny how people get acrimonious about abortion being a sin while Christian conservatives--especially rich and powerful Christian conservatives--live lives packed to the brim with sin and completely against the teachings of the New Testament. Lives full of boastfulness, pride, greed, and disdain for the misfortunate--those who Jesus cared for the most. Ignore the sins that are inconvenient to your worldview, demonize the ones that aren't, it's the conservative way. Ignore your own sins and criticize those who are downtrodden by society. Forgetting everything you said about the sanctity of life the moment the child is born also seems to be the convenient route I see a lot of the time. In case you've forgotten, the Pharisees were criticized heavily by Jesus for the same behavior you see glamorized by conservative Christians everywhere, and the church has yet again become a place of profit, just waiting for its tables to be overturned by an angry God. Practice what you preach.

I LOVE 917's, and have ever since I watched Lemans as a 10 year old.

There's also a guy in regional Victoria here that build a Flat 12 duplicate engine from scratch I'm told. What a package that would have been. I was also the head drivetrain tech for the Joss supercar here in us, before I got into the TV game. Keep up the good work Seen Through Glass, it would be great to collaborate sometime, I've stepped out of television and I'm just making the transition to KZbin as we speak. :-)
