The ancient Egyptians built the prototype for the Lexus LF-A V10 engine. I've even got the evidence to prove it! ATM threads, eat this.
Compare the pictures below. The first one is the current LF-A engine. The second one is a 4000 year old Egyptian velocity stack from the prototype's carburetors. Obviously.
(for the curious guys: it's a actually an oil pallette for sacred oils)

The LF-A V10 was designed after the failure of the LF-A V9 engine.

The LFA V9 and V10 engines are based on the V1 and V2. LFA stands for "LancierungsFahrzeug Abgeleitet".

So many bugs, so little time.

If I remember correctly, Ferret Day was created in 2003 by Proposition 17.93, in spite of strong opposition from the marmot lobby.Originally Posted by ABR.

Speaking of which, and seeing how ferrets are so dear to him, it's been rumored that Rudy Giuliani has taken a strong interest in BAUT. In fact, he may already have posted in this very thread.

You know, Giuliani's real first name is Bob, but his affection for chromium-doped sapphire laser crystals and a horrible typing accident earned him the nickname Rudy.
