Joke Of The Day: Irish Gas Station

Rubber Chicken Taking a wee break from the golf course, Rory McIlroy drives his new Mercedes into an Irish gas station.

An attendant greets him in a typical Irish manner, unaware who the golf pro is. “Top o’ the mornin to ya.”

As Rory gets out of the car, two tees fall out of his pocket.

“What are those things, laddie?” asks the attendant.

“They’re called tees,” replies Rory.

“And what would ya be usin ’em for, now?” inquires the Irishman.

“Well, they’re for resting my balls on when I drive,” replies Rory.

“Aw, Jaysus, Maryan’ Joseph!” exclaims the Irish attendant. “Those fellas at Mercedes think of everything!”

Getting Started

‘Getting Started‘ is a short video that includes the sights, but more importantly the sounds, of 33 amazing vehicles roaring to life! From the ’69 Jaguar E-Type’s quiet Inline-6 to the rumble of the Aventador’s 6.5L V12 and the punch of the Saleen S7’s twin turbos, we don’t often have the pleasure of hearing these fire up. Spanning decades, cylinder numbers, and displacements ­ each engine¹s voice is as individual and recognizable as its body style. Just one of these cars is enough to get any automotive enthusiast¹s attention, but hearing all 33 unique cars one after another is like a symphony to any gearhead’s ears!

Enjoy!
