Secretary Ramsey put his foot into it yesterday . . . in the course of his remarks he said that California “needs water and better society.” “So does h-ll,” yelled someone in the crowd.

He was convinced it was going even faster ( not the point of twin carbs so much as smooth fuel flow) and begged for the secret.
Aviation grade fuel. Where, how can I buy some? I looked around as if people might overhear me. I got a small supply from a pilot at Van Nuys Airport. I can sell you 3 gallons for $30.
I sold him 89 octane from the 76 station I worked at which set me back .79 a gallon. He drove around town convinced his ford was faster than anybody. Then he blew past a black and white parked in the 7-11.
If he thought it was fast and he was happy thats all that matters - getting a speeding ticket was just icing on the cake that only proved what he believed all along. Sir, di you have any idea how fast you were going?

I think folks are just paying for the unobtainium/piece of art aspect. Which is OK. When you pay north of $200 for a razor you aren't going to come out and say it sucked. You just paid $200+ dollars and don't want to look like a sucker.
There's truth in this. On the other hand, if you pay that much for a razor, and can flip it for more than you paid for it, you might stay very quiet...
Especially when the sucker on Ebay pays close to $1000 for it. I just watched that whole thing happen lol.
If I can sell something for 5 times the price I paid for it, I don't care how it shaves.
You may also want to check out the new, redesigned ATT DE razor, referenced in this thread. Evidently there will be stainless steel and copper versions of it.
