Don't go touching it just yet. It's still hot.

Welcome home!

Can't think of any "they landed safely" jokes.

Unlike that first car you ever owned, Space Shuttle makes it home intact, again

DAMN IT...THWARTED AGAIN!!!

Amen Amen Amen

Yeah, but does it have that spacious hatchback, with fold forward rear seats? Hell no.

How...how did you know?

Hero tag too busy chatting it up with the ladies

Sure, it's back, but will it blend?

Nutcase: /I submitted this with the above funnier hackneyed, played out, and idiotic 'omg shuttul asplode hur hur hur' headline.

Whatever dude, she was a Toyota and she made it home every time. Old when I bought her, too!

My first car made it home. Barely. Had it going 75 on the highway when it cracked a cylinder. Managed to make it coast, getting lucky on all the lights, the nearly 2 miles from the highway exit back to my house. It came to a stop at the curb of my house without me having to press the brake...

An amazing bit of work for a then-16-year-old. Course, if you'll look at my bio, you'll see I have other reasons to think I was able to make it back without a tow truck.

I, like my NASA friends, will be getting lit tonight.

When they come out with the new version, I hope they opt for more environmentally responsible propellants.

Sonic boom gave it away; was pretty impressive this time.

reillan To my knowledge, that was my first simulpost evar!11!1!!ONE!

I told you everything was going to be alright.

I wanted the headline to be something like: "NASA FAILS at attempt to lose the life of another female school-teacher". I would have used the tag.

"I'd be dipped in shiat if that ain't a meteor!"

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever/Its loveliness increases; it will never/Pass into nothingness; but still will keep/A bower quiet for us, and a sleep/Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

I'm the first car I ever owned so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

I just wanted to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.

/wait, what?

//damnit... *crosses fingers*

So their record on shuttle missions successfully returning with no loss of life is 116-2, yet we still see "Next Shuttle Explosion Scheduled for..." headlines.

The Taliban couldn't stop the Space Shuttle.

Nice headline smitty. Way to throw that one back at them.

/"Shuttle asplode" jokes were funny while they lasted.

Sharing Artist's Boobies

Great minds. Yours is just slightly better.

I'm so happy.

I can't even watch takeoffs and landings anymore. I thought I'd be living on the moon by this time in my life, I really did.

studebaker hoch: Do you know who else landed a space shuttle safely?

My first car had a slant six engine in it. The thing could still be running somewhere - may be, I sold it - if the body hasn't rotted to nothing by now.

I knew I shouldln't have made that bet.

***shouldn't

choice and consequence: Yeah, but does it have that spacious hatchback, with fold forward rear seats? Hell no.

Actually, it does have one helluva hatchback...

Hmm, there's actually a bit of resemblance.

ScreamingInDigital: My first car had a slant six engine in it. The thing could still be running somewhere - may be, I sold it - if the body hasn't rotted to nothing by now.

That engine could run without oil. It was in my '79 Aspen (above).

It was actually the 2nd car I ever owned. Fukkin thing didn't make it 24 hours before the engine blew. I only needed it for a few months, but it couldn't even make it a day. Worst 800 bucks I've ever spent. It was an important lesson in "Don't expect a cheap car to work", though.
