I would have loved to be in either team meeting when this match was brought up.

Might be the nicest thing Junior's momma ever said about Senior.

The VW Corrado. It isn't even close. It cost almost 30K in 1990! The maintenance cost of an old Ferrari with prestige of VW. I paid cash for the car (a used one in '95) and it cost at least $500 every month to keep it running, and much more many months (I still have nightmares about the GLader supercharger…

Sounds just like the FOTA in F1 or PRO in NHRA. Neither the FOTA nor PRO have any real power as the sanctioning bodies do not listen to them and only nominally even recognize they exist. It will be the same with these guys in NASCAR. I took the long road to say: Yawn ... Nothing to see here.

Today 2014 - Emancipation Proclamation 1863 = 151 Years, Combined age of three way is 171 years ... So they were 20 years older than the Proclamation, or exactly 1 sexy score (score = 20). Also, the word "score" does not appear in the Emancipation Proclamation, it is in the Gettysburg Address, which was also 1863.…

Michael Keaton rules!

When Bobby Rahal had appeared to successfully lure Newey to Jaguar F1 (ironically now Red Bull) the trump card in the deck for McLaren to keep Newey was "special projects". It was believed they were going to allow Newey to design an America's Cup yacht for sale or lease to anyone willing to pay. That never…

NHRA rules dictate a roll cage for any car going quicker than 10.99 or faster than 135MPH in the quarter mile. How do I know this? I once turned a 10.66 quarter (141MPH) in a twin turbo charged '06 GTO at the Strip at LVMS (on the stock wheels and tires!) They were nice about it, they said I could stay and watch,…

Yup, I would say its even lower than 10,000th. We are crass, thoughtless consumers (myself included). Air Jordan's are made by 8 year olds in Malaysia ... Don't care. The iPad I am typing this response on was made in a factory in China by people held against their will on "contracts" for 8 cents a day, don't care. …

This whole thing has the very distinct odor of USF1 all over it ... Hope I am wrong.

I am constantly amazed how young Gisele is (33). It seems as though she has been around forever. I first became aware of her in '97 or '98 as F1 driver Pedro Diniz's girlfriend, which would have made her 17 or 18 at that time.

I don't think the women are looking to get rich either. But most of the owners in the NFL are not going to support any endeavor out of the kindness of their hearts, especially when it affects the bottom line, no matter how insignficant the dollar amount may seem.

There is no way the owners will actually pay these women a decent wage, so with the proliferation of the lawsuits will come the end of cheerleaders at NFL games. The owners will settle quickly and quietly as possible and disband the squads moving forward.

There were some non-Porsche Marques in there, the orange car is a Lexus IS.

He gave 1 tiny fuck, he didn't like hiring Italian drivers so their blood wasn't on his hands (and thusly the ensuing Italian media criticism).

most modern Audis are going in this direction. It is known as "service position". Come to think of it, you have to take the whole front end off the BMW7 to replace the water cooled alternator. Because ze Germans?

3.788 @ 318 MPH, good enough to qualify #2. The run will stand and the team will be allowed to bring out a backup car when qualifying resumes today due to something known as the "Eddie Hill Rule".

First, thanks for reading my long, rambling post.

Everyone forgets the glory days of racing were before the advent of computers. CFD Software rules the day now. Oh and a materials science program that would make Kelly Johnson envious. That is why there has to be this spec Dallara crap now, otherwise the costs would be near F1 levels, and if you are going to spend…
