and you thing YOU got balls....

URFA, Turkey - Turkish pop-singer Metin Senturk became the world's fastest unaccompanied blind driver on Friday and said he felt he had danced with death.

Senturk wept as he emerged from a Ferrari F430 at Urfa airport in eastern Turkey to learn from Guinness World Records officials his average speed of 292.89 kph (180 mph) broke the previous record of 284 kph (176 mph), held by a British bank manager.

"I don't think there are any words to describe this feeling. I am really happy. It was really hard, like a dance with death," said Senturk, who has been blind since the age of three.

... were they sure is was tears on his uniform instead of pee from driving while blind? Next he can dance on Dancing with the Stars and cheat that death as well. Good find Joe.
