Default Saddam Hussein's cars start to appear on eBay

Just found this former Saddam Hussein's Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible up for sale on UK eBay - The owner claims he has 12 of his cars in total including a Maybach 62





And here's the LINK

Below - He was obviously upset about his cars being repossessed

Looks like the Window is messed up on the door.

Doesn't this belong in OT?

The car needs a new key set as it states they are missing so I'm guessing this is the problem with the window ...

... Like many new coupe's the window lowers about 10mm when opening and just before closing again - That's my guess

Unless it was broken and he was looking for advice on how to fix it. It probably still belongs in OT.

Just Say'n.

My fifth grade teacher was talking about a program on cable TV one day. She paused in the middle of her story to ask who in the class had cable TV, and so many people raised their hands that she rephrased her survey to find out who didn't have cable TV. The five smartest kids in the class raised their hands and then looked around at each other. It was the same group of five that was pulled out of class once each week for the Gifted and Talented program, called "GT" for short. Us normal kids called it "Gifted Tards." A little immature, sure, but we were in 5th grade and to be honest it still makes me laugh a bit. Anyway, in our 5th-grade minds the little survey meant that to be smart all you had to do was get rid of your cable TV. It was purely a causal relationship in our minds, and we never considered the possibility that parents who would say things like, "I don't believe in cable," might al so be driving their kids a little harder. To us, getting rid of cable meant a free pass into the Straight A Club and a day per week in the GT room. That said, not a single kid went home and told his parents to disconnect the cable. It was an easy choice, and I'm positive that each person in the GT class would have given it all up for one sweet night of MTV.

It's been a LONG time since we've had a "Tifo Vignette" sighting! ROFL!
