VG,

Refering to your friendly neighborhood GRENDEL! First of all monsters in western literature! He is the coolest!

 

Heh, you are correct. Not many people pick up on that. I thought maybe you were someone that knew me personally. I've been using the name VG for writing stuff since my early high school years.

 

Grendel by John Gardner is my favoritist book in the whole wide world! haven't read beowolf yet....but I am sure that Grendel is much more entertaining and meaningful as well!

 

Beowolf, at least in it's original form, is not an easy read. I found a web site that had the entire thing and had some reference/translation to help with deriving the meaning. In high school I read a revised and shortened version of the story that was modernized wich was much better. I'm not sure if I've ever read or seen John Gardner's book. Now my interest is peaked, gonna have to look around for it.

 

I met him last weekend. Met a viper owner with his son, this guy has 2 vipers ugh. They asked me if I wanted to meet them at the local street racing place. So I went and there were a few other vipers and a hopped up z06, which was Hennessey's. Nice guy, I talked to him about whats goin on in his company, everything is a-ok. Next weekend he is bringing the yellow 650 viper that was in motor trend a year ago. Nice Nice man.

 

Hennessey Rocks! That Venom 800 is the sh**! I would love to have that baby!!!

 

I helped with a Car and Driver test at Michigan International Speedway a couple weeks ago. There was a factory Venom 800 Viper among the subjects. It ran 3.93-4.88 0-60's, 1/4 ET's of 11.60-12.28 @ MPH's of 133.39-137.45.

 

The drivers at Car & Driver suck! They can't drive to save their life. That is a low 10 sec car easy! Those idiots @ C&D just need to go back to driving school!

 

So how come John Hennessey isn't in jail yet?

 

I agree completely, Motortrend drivers are much better, so are the writers IMO.
