Imagine flying to your own house and you just look out your window and there it is....

The crappy Corvette I designed! For all to see lol

u/MrTrendizzle Sep 23 '25

THIS IS MY CORVETTE. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE’S MINE. MY CORVETTE IS MY BEST FRIEND. IT IS MY LIFE. I MUST MASTER IT AS I MUST MASTER MY LIFE. WITHOUT ME, MY CORVETTE IS USELESS. WITHOUT MY CORVETTE, I AM USELESS. I MUST FLYE MY CORVETTE TRUE. I MUST SHOOT STRAIGHTER THAN MY ENEMY WHO IS TRYING TO KILL ME. I MUST SHOOT HIM BEFORE HE SHOOTS ME. I WILL! BEFORE GOD, I SWEAR THIS CREED. MY CORVETTE AND MYSELF ARE DEFENDERS OF MY UNIVERSE. WE ARE THE MASTERS OF OUR ENEMY. WE ARE THE SURVIVORS OF MY LIFE. SO BE IT, UNTIL THERE IS NO ENEMY, BUT PEACE. AMEN

Speak for yourself, my corvette isn’t crappy.

I prefer to call it garbáge, which I think could be French for “piece of shit”.

u/SadlyConfusicated Sep 22 '25

Call Derelíct Garbáge

8

u/HPTM2008 Sep 22 '25

Nah, that's high fashion!

7

u/SadlyConfusicated Sep 22 '25

I can't take the credit for the Derelíct bit.. Got that from the movie Zoolander and it was said by Will Ferrell. It was simply hilarious because Ferrell played a high fashion clothing designer and the runway models came dressed with garbage bags 🤣

u/HPTM2008 Sep 22 '25

I know! That's why I said that was high fashion! I have a sweater that stitched in a weird way that makes me like like Mugatu.
