V-8 Chainsaw

According to the U.S. Product Safety Commission there are over 28,000 chainsaw injuries in America every year. According to Robert Andrews, that number is laughably low.

Andrews built a chainsaw powered by a Buick V-8 engine, named the Predator because "####saw" was already taken, to compete in log-cutting contests. Yes, there are actually other V-8 powered chainsaws out there, along with probably quite a few legless woodsmen.

The chainsaw can cut through a four-foot log in two seconds, or about as long as it takes other competitors to #### themselves, and has never lost a competition. The Predator requires Robert and a buddy to stand on each side to lift it while searing hot exhaust belches out against them, which they don't mind so long as in the end the tree learns its place and never again dares to grow peacefully, all giving off oxygen and ####.

Besides the fact that this saw could chew through a sea of bodies like a hot knife through butter, only faster and with more screaming, like any chainsaw it's prone to breakage. As witnessed by this clip, these saws can backfire very suddenly in a burst of flame and kick ass red suspenders.

The Predator however has only broken once, according to the creator, but it broke so hard that a hunk of the chain was found a mile and a half away in a hotel parking lot, undoubtedly full of terrified tourists and adulterers.
 
Old news mang... Robert used to be here... but is gone.

I miss the lil' runt... :cry:

That article is a POS... for the record... Ol' Bobby has lost a few races... but he's at the top of the hill now. :)

Good friend of mine. He's a cool dude.
