When I got my first sports car my dad gave me driving gloves.  From a different brand (BWM).  That’s a triple-no right there.  Luckily they were too small.  

I’m of the opinion that it’s generally not the wealthy who buy the car branded merchandise.

Generally I’m not a fan, but it’s fun watching dealer service departments constantly changing it. My Aston started with a McLaren one (bought it used there), then Aston of DC, then Kerbeck where I get it serviced , and then Porsche (where I get it inspected, because there is no Aston Dealer in eastern PA) , and then…

if your business model only works because you use slave labor and treat employees like shit then your business model doesnt work at all.

Chuck Norris’s blood type is A-K47.

If it weren’t for the Walker outfit I’d think it was a generic cowboy. That’s only vaguely reminiscent of Chuck Norris.

I think Torch would be quite surprised if he dash cam’d his own driving and noticed when he entered an intersection after oncoming traffic, I suspect it looks very similar.  We don’t notice IRL because our brains can handle the crossing car easily and your eyes really should be scanning the unknowns in the…

Scrap the ailing GTLM,

So true about the suburban female names.

I agree. Craigslist is an absolute cesspool, I was looking for a trailer and 2/3rds of the 50 listings in my area were obvious scams.

Good guess.  I grabbed a random map, apparently it was 1982 Gran Prix.

I’ve got zero clue what version it is, I just google imaged long beach racing track map and found the one with the biggest dongle.

It’s doubly unfortunate that the terminology UFO has been co-opted to also mean alien spaceship. I mean UFO used to literally mean “that flying thing I can’t identify with my current view”.

It’s Long Beach, with an erection  (If I were cleverer I’d have found a picture with this racetrack flipped on the horizontal.)

“1000 ft long”

Okay, I don’t think we are as far apart as we sounded. I’m a Net Promoter Score guy, as a measure of loyalty. So loyalty is not just ‘do you keep buying from the same company’, that’s kind of like asking ‘are you satisfied?’, not useful.

Agreed. most 4-wheel steering cars have both:

Standardized fuel rig is how it is done in most race series where the cars are built to a tight standard - same size fuel tank and no Balance of Performance. But in endurance racing, you’ve got relatively different cars racing in the same class with different fuel tank allowances and you want to keep the minimum fuel…

Eh, false equivalency. You don’t need to understand the refueling rules to enjoy car racing, just as you don’t need to memorize the dimensions of the goalie’s net to appreciate football.

Loyalty is a bullshit concept spawned by my fellow marketers and has proven, time and again, to have very little value on a business’s bottom line.
