At the BurgerMaster Drive Inn in Bellevue, Saturday noon...said hello to him and told him his new commercials with JS are good, he said "thank you".
According to a W fan I met, he has been coming to this place for years and years....(I see why, my crab and cheese on sourdough was fantastic)

Sorry about the poor photo, took it with my iPhone! (heh.)

A European POS-600. At least he can afford to have the rust bucket repaired every other week.

And the commercials are terrible.
You should have thrown a shake in his face. :)

I do kind of like them, in a Sid and Marty Krofft kind of way...

I was going to ask him how many patches his new car needed, but I didn't need some new supervirus showing up and decimating (see other thread) my laptop on Monday. dOOd IS powerful you know.

I'm pretty sure it's a Maybach...

Pretty much a Mercedes for very, very, very rich people. :texan:

Did ask him why MS sells crap? I mean he basicly took over the world with that crap! And yes I am too lazy to go with Linux and will not buy a mac but still MS Windows has always sucked. Oh, and if I was him I would buy the stupid hamburger stand that way I could eat there for free!!! :D

I think it's cool he eats at a burger stand. I have a lot more respect for him now.

I don't know what a Maybach is, but if it is like AMG...sort of a spin-off brand, maybe.

I walked passed it and his car had the traditional MB hood ornament and grille, but I didn't go around back to read the nameplate.

I've seen it.

It says "DOOSHRKT"

It's a MB 600, the Maybach has different turn signals on the rearviews and stock rims. I was curious so I did some investigating, you can trust me or GIS for yourself, I'm too lazy to post pics.

I was thinking the same at first, but saw the differences as well. The Maybach does not have a Mercedes symbol (even though it is made by them). Instead it has an interlocking M emblem. Also the grill on a Maybach is vertical. Both are amazing cars anyways.

Jimminy Crimson

9/18/2008, 05:00 PM

Since he said it had the hood ornament, it's just a normal everyday rich mans car. I did notice the grill being different, but I'm not an expert on those things. Yet. ;)

Talk about surreal.

I am out tonight in Norman meeting with several old friends that I have not seen for years. Most are ex-swimmers and we all swam together at Norman High. One show me a pic of Bill Gates in his car sitting at some burger joint.

I look at it and KNOW I have seen that pic...ask a few questions about where it was taken, yaddayaddayadda.

At some point I axe dude if he posts on any message boards. He looks at me askance and says, "Just Soonerfans."

I axe dude his screen name, and he says Lott's Bandana.

I tell him "I'm Howzit."

Hilarity ensues.

Why do I get the feeling if most people that complain unrelentingly about Mickeysoft were ask to change the hard drive out on their PC they'd use a freakin' crowbar?

Actually, some of us do not like microsoft and actually know how to repair a computer. HD is a piece of cake. I do use MS because what choice do I have when you want to use the other programs that run on it. Linux is nice but not practical for me. As for MS they have delivered crap foryears and it's over priced.

I was at the las colinas kodak complex back in the mid-80's and my friend who worked there showed me a new thingy called a "mouse"..and how it controlled a pointer on the monitor. Kodak couldn't figure out what to do with it and GAVE IT to Gates and his MIT drop-outs.
