Default Strange and Useless Facts.....Brought to You by Mills

So, I always heard how Saleen didn't have any rhyme or reason to how they numbered cars based on build date, etc... Here's one more "The Proof is in the Pudding Moment".

My carnumber is 46; however it was the 12th 2002 Extreme built. There were 15Extremeswith numbers higher than #46with the last being #62 (they skipped #58).

I knew they skipped numbers (e.g. always #6), but didn't know to what extent. I know....I know, you're dying to find out that besides #58, they skipped #'s 3, 4, 6 (who knew ), 9, 10, 37 and 43.....................why you ask...................because they could!

Tune in tomorrow, same place/same time, for, "Strange and Useless Facts.....Brought to You by Mills".

That's not all that strange - counting and numbering were for some purpose that's not always clear.

If you look at the first year Saleens were made (3) Total - #032, #051, #052. On a side note, all (3) will be at the Saleen NATIONALS in GreenwoodIN Aug 1-3.

So since the ball is rolling, anybody else got something strange/unique and useless about their rides?

I'll go: my S-281, 2005 #92, purchased on March 18th 2005 was the first one sold in Indiana [sm=happy046.gif]

Useless fact:

It takes a ridiculous amount of restraint to drive my car like a grandma for 500 miles to seat the clutch and flywheel. Only 250 more to go.

Useless fact: My PJ is number 57, my engine is number 13, my PJ decal is number 15.

Now, if you take my engine number plus my decal number and subtract it from my bumper number, followed by my credit score minus my age plus my social, divided by the number of useless posts in my PJ thread, you get a steaming pile of crap!

yes... but you must now claim to be a calanadian or a canafornian

my days thoughts are ...the opec members actually own ford, dodge, and chevy, and intentionally are making these awesome cars because they know we will drive the nuts off of them in turn sucking tons of fuel from their tits making them richer than ever, and they simply know we just cant resist this temptation
