Rudy gets a Beamer

PrintI was stuck at the dealership for many hours today waiting to get a new windshield. After hours of mindlessly waiting for what seemed like forever, suddenly Rudy Fernandez burst through the door with his crew. I waved at him as he came though and he seemed shocked to see some half-asleep dude waving at him. I was shocked as well.
As I was leaving I saw him crawling into a brand new BMW X5 or something like it. The whole thing was filmed by a crew of guys that looked Spanish and I assumed were friends with Rudy, if not just friendly.
When I left Rudy was right next to me in the parking lot and I was thinking, "I hope to God Rudy knows how to drive this thing." I wasn't really worried, except for all of the distractions of the little film crew all over the parking lot.
So, welcome to America, Rudy - and enjoy your Beamer!

Wasn’t there a documentary being made about Rudy’s trip to America? If so you may just make a special appearance!
Maybe this one
"You're really making me feel good about myself, little man," says Oden as he starts dancing after scoring a goal. "You better come harder than that."
Looks like a high-end practical vehicle to me. Only what I'd expect from Rudy.

exactly what I pictured too
Good choice Rudy. We can stash all our little ones easier in there :)
Kidding
When asked about his thoughts during the Olympic games about playing against Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, Rudy responded "My first thought was respect. My second thought was to kick their ass".
Man I love him.
Yes. We want to keep all those Fernandez baby basketballers safe
for our future championship teams 20 years from now. The starting 5 will all have the last name Fernandez and papa Rudy and mama twiggsy will watch proudly from the sidelines as their talented brood devastates the league. You better get busy twiggs. Times a wastin’.

Thanks, I am working on it

Probably has good headroom
One of my many pet peeves is cars that have no headroom. I’m only 6’2" and I’ve had a hard time finding cars in which I can sit normally without scrunching my coiffure against the headliner. I feel sorry for NBA guys and others taller than I. I’ve read that Manute Bol actually had the driver’s seat in his Chevy SUV removed and sat in the back seat to drive.
That photo looks like an X3, not an X5…

I'm living vicariously. Except for the "little ones". Twiggs can handle that.

It would be an honor
to pass those genes on. I’ll take one for the team.

I think they were talking
about taking more than one for the team.
The most amazing thing about my amazing ego is I have amazingly little about which to be egotistical.
The pick and roll this year will emphasize "roll" followed by "dunk", followed by the wailings and lamentations of your women.
I read that...
…a television news crew from Spain was accompanying him to the states and filming the experience documentary-style. In one of amlmart1’s recent fan posts he stated in the comments section that he had not heard anything about this. That was 3 days ago (I think).
this has been a message from: "The People's Alliance to Keep Comment Boards Sucka Free"
Gotcha.
Do you live in Spain now?

I work right across the street from the Landrover dealer.
I keep hearing how the Blazers all drive Range Rovers, but I’ve yet to see a Blazer there. I suppose for repair work, they send their minions.
I lol'd too and now my family is asking what I'm laughing at.

He bought the same car that he drove in Spain
I’m pretty sure that’s what I heard on Courtside. I didn’t catch what it was that he bought — I was a little distracted by the accent.
Indeed, Rudy mentioned that he was planning on getting an X5
He also drove an X5 in Spain. He thinks Sergio’s Audi is too small and European.

Yeh, considering the number of championships coming our way in the next ten years
We need a lot of ash trays for all our victory cigars
He who laughs last thinks slowest.
At least we drive on the right ..
just like Spain .. at least I think so :)
Ohhhhhh so that's why I keep getting flipped off when I drive to the store to get more Twinkies

OHHHHHH my gosh
I saw that car here in my ‘hood the other day. It was the UGLIEST (yet coolest) vehicle i’ve ever seen.
Unfortunately for Oscar Meyer, the only time I eat hot dogs is at Costco (1.50 for a huge dog and soda), so they’re wasting time and money on “advertising”

Ah, brings back a memory...
I was at an Arco AMPM a few years ago waiting to pay for my gas, when that wiener-mobile pulls up to the pumps. A couple minutes later, the driver comes storming in to the store demanding to see the manager. He was livid. Apparently he didn’t believe the attendant when he told them he couldn’t use his credit card there. It was an entertaining scene. He really was angry.
You wouldn’t hink it was possible by looking at it, but when he left the parking lot, the wiener actually burned some serious rubber.
"...and that loud noise you hear coming is the Portland Trailblazers." - Charles Barkley
Another fabulous video we'll never see...
Your comment about the weinermobile laying rubber got me to wondering what it has under the hood. Autobloggreen.com says:
“There have been numerous generations over the last seven decades built on a variety of truck and motorhome chassis. It now appears that rising fuel prices have even forced the weiner to shrink. The newest Weinermobile is built on top of a MINI Cooper S.”
What, no rocket turbo boost a la the Batmobile?
I’m not too impressed about the Weinermobile squealing its tires on the polished concrete of a gas station. I can do that on my bicycle.

Reminds of the difference between a BMW and a porcupine...
unfortunately it’ll only amuse Dave and Ben for as long as it takes to hit the delete button if I tell it here.
Bingo!
Also, great quote. I saw that movie for the first time a week ago and now I’m obsessed. This aggression will not stand!

I wish Rudy would have got a Hummer.
I guess he could call Z-Bo to find out where to get one.
Blazers Edge has an alarmist vision
Thanks for sharing your fantasies.
It’s always Dave this Dave that, Dave Dave Dave!
I seriously hope Rudy wouldn't take one of those watered down Hummers off-road.

All cars are ugly except electric ones
And the electric ones are also ugly if they don’t feed purely off of solar collectors.
All cars are ugly: this is the mentality we need to adopt if we ever want to clean up the planet and make it livable for future generations.
Doesn’t matter if it’s a “beamer” or a mazerati or a mercedes or a model T or a “porsh” or an old dodge barricuda. Ugly. Every one of them ugly because it relies on an internal combustion engine.
Sorry Nascar fans and automobile fetishists, but sometimes you have to look squarely at reality.
We cannot put up with this flagrant lack of accountability anymore.
What do You drive?
