Card Man · 09-22-2009, 08:24 PM

Discovered this a little while ago. It started to make me wonder many things. Discuss your thoughts please.

That was actually a pretty sweet video haha.

**Superfreak04** · 09-22-2009, 08:27 PM

I'm the chosen one.

Your thread title doesn't specify an actual question. Your first post compared to the video is actually pointless.

More on topic, cool video (thread worthy if it was better presented)

P.s. The fact that it's 7x more rare to own a certain car than die by a meteor is actually pretty stupid.

I'd buy one and only use it to go to the end of my driveway to get the mail. And that's all I'd use it for.

Once when I was playing risk I rolled snake eyes 5 times in a row.

DecemberLily · 09-22-2009, 09:49 PM

I bet for Bill Gates or LeBron James it wouldn't be that small of odds.

AC1speakerbox · 09-22-2009, 09:55 PM

I second that.

That was my reaction. I mean come on, how many people have even -tried- to climb to the top of mount everest? That's clearly your sample size for the success rate of attaining the summit.

Who gives a damn? That car is freaking amazing.

**Nyokou** · 09-22-2009, 11:10 PM

Beautiful, beautiful car.

Devonin: Even past that, it just bothers me when people use some kind of modified frequency to represent an overall chance or probability statistic. "Chance" is only really applicable when we have no real control over the underlying variables. Most of that **** in the video is not based on chance, but rather plenty of things we can control -- including whether or not we want to own that spiffy car :P

**ic0slay3r** · 09-22-2009, 11:31 PM

The chances of you using that car more than once a month cause you are to afraid it get scratch or stolen

1 : 2.000.000.000

P.S the car look awesome

**wargasm1** · 09-22-2009, 11:36 PM

Why make a video just to let us know we'll never own one. I got one for ya, what are the chance i give a damn about it? 1:999,999,999, I win.
