Much easier and quicker there than at Atlanta or Talladega, but I never went to the interstate when leaving Bristol (lived in Johnson City for few years).

Do you really think the other car manufacturers are following all of the rules? VW got caught. They all have dirty little secrets they don’t want the world to know. Every component/system that goes into a car has a cost benefit analysis done on it. Failure probabilities, risk of injury versus cost, etc... Granted, VW…

Private.

You don’t understand football fans in the south, huh?

It’s about the event, not the game.

Sure it will. Smallest crowd to ever attend an event at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Well, from 2003 thru 2014 they didn’t have football program at all, so yeah, it wasn’t very good. Hard to recruit good players to ETSU when you are a small school sitting in the middle of SEC and ACC country.

Are you forgetting that Bristol has been hosting 100K+ crowds for NASCAR for years? This won’t be a new experience for the facility or the local cops conducting traffic.

Yep, this has very little to do with the game. This is about the experience. Go Vols!!

Well, if Liberty Media does for F1 what they did for the Atlanta Braves, we shouldn’t count on the sport getting better with Bernie out of the picture.

Most cooks prefer to be called chefs, but those cooks would have to be kooks to think the govt. is going to come around and install control devices on old cars. The old cars would be grandfathered in as long as they are registered as limited use vehicles (show cars, collector cars, etc..)

Or if the Dems get their way and take over health insurance, how far behind will all insurance be? Then, it’s simply a matter of saying you use the system or you can’t get insured. Doesn’t Progressive already have a plug in module that gives you a discount based on driving patterns it collects and sends back to the…

I’m guessing it would take no more than a week for someone to hack that system. Those crafty folks that were fired from VW and Bosch can start a new business writing code for the ECU that will allow you to exceed the mandated limits on the highway, but revert back to limited mode in town or when in test mode.

How the hell did that turn in to a union discussion? For your clarification though, the average union worker earns around $50k/year, according the BLS. Now, back to the original discussion, companies that don’t count on taxpayers for their income source (read: companies that must provide a product or service and make…

I never said they were taking money from environmentalists and I wasn’t blaming anyone. I said the university should be able to figure out how to get them a bigger piece of the pie if they think it’s important. The point isn’t where the coaches pay comes from, it all comes from university funds, regardless of whether…

Nailed it. Early 00's MB was probably the all time low point for the brand. Terrible quality materials and “craftsmanship” (hard to call it that). They have improved dramatically since then, but still pushing volume too much at the lower end of the model range as the used market is flooded with crappy used cars from…

Sell it before the 8 year, infinite mile warranty is up.

I have to think the guy just wasn’t looking at.......well......anything that was in front of him! As you said, target fixation has nothing to do with not braking at all.

I’d be happy with a Golf R Variant without lasers, or even a nice GTD.

As a VW fan, this deserves to be un-grayed.
