That's not a style, it's simply a dissonance, sometimes known as cacophony.

What I offered actually happened, and although probably not the only crash stemming from a 427/409 contest there'd have to be a lot more than what probably occurred in order to be banal. On the other hand, as you showed up above, you are somewhat lacking in your understanding of the use of words.

Can you say 'troll'? As It applies in the instant case, the definition would be 'small-minded malignant imp'.

It's been said that continuing a disagreement on the internet, particularly with a troll, is an exercise with no worthwhile ending.

I'm done.

"Banal: so lacking in originality as to be obvious and boring." Nope, that's you, right down to your non-existent sense of humor.

Oh, I don't know about that. That sobbing Girl Scout meltdown you had the last time you decided to take me on was damn entertaining for a whole bunch of people.

That's what you get for going on the defensive where there was no offense being played, silly boy. Do you even own anything on topic, or are you living in the past?

there is a place in the country down the road from me called beach creek.back in the 70s-80s it was a pretty rough place to be on a friday night.we would gather and race our cars on a straight stretch of road down there.i was in my 66 caliente with my 390 4 speed and i was going to race a 70 chevelle in the 1/4. it was around midnight,no one around,we were about 3/4 the way down the 1/4 mile when all the sudden a 66 gt fairlane blew by us both with his lights off,running down the ditch line and he got back in front of us at the finish line.he had turned his lights off about a mile back and got a big run on us.i didnt know what to think,we never saw him coming.that whole area of beach creek loved fords and mercurys esp. fairlanes galaxies and cyclones,and those boys didnt give a crap.they had a fairlane-comet graveyard.when they wrecked them bad enough we would pull them behind a hill and park them.after a decade or two they ended up with a old ford graveyard. that was the good ol days!
1966 comet caliente 428 4 speed owned since 1983                                                 1973 f250 ranger xlt 360 4 speed papaw bought new

Shaman is still around, but his weather-based hallucinations are sketchy. Don't even get me started about stock market predictions. Lately just chewing peyote.
