One of the funniest movies ever MADE.
Lots of funny movies are qritten, but never see celluloid (or compressed packets of 0s and 1s nowadays).

English translation: Douchebag.

This time....

The NRG park course wasn't even a street circuit.
It was a parking lot autocross w/ Jersey barriers instead of orange cones.

True. I fear the real reason COTA won't be on the schedule was because Houston was a flop. Houston was an underwhelming street circuit—comparisons to "a race in a parking lot" were pretty frequent, for Pete's sake. Texas is pretty huge, but we do travel across the state pretty well.

While I'm disappointed that I won't get an IndyCar race mere minutes from my house, I'll live. It seems as if what they're doing with their scheduling is prudent and a good way to ensure there's IndyCar racing for years to come.

My question...

It's a car wash with an automated conveyor to roll the cars through the wash.
Drivers typically aren't in the car for this. They're usually in a waiting area on their phone or laptop, oblivious to anything except the Car Wash emplyoee telling them their car is done.

That's great and all, but it wouldn't work in the US, at least.
Too many people drive large cars that would be too wide to allow an ambulance (even a mini-ambulance like in your video) to lane-split like that for long distances.
I've seen it done at a crowded intersection or through a backup on a freeway, but only for…

More likely, the Skoda contained a person who was easily rattled and/ had little driving experience.

Yes.

At least bicyclists are quiet.

Maybe.

I'm going to pretend that you're not an idiot and genuinely have no clue what you're talking about.

I wasn't expecting a response with perfect grammar and such.
I think he answered the question as honestly as he could without throwing the team under the proverbial bus, which I'm certain he'd like to do.

Buxton: "Do you ever regret your decision to come back to Formula One this year, given how it's turning out?"

It's NASCAR, the big dog in US Motosport.
It's the second most watched sport in this country.

That's a very rigid way of thinking and doesn't account for the excessive and unnecessary expenditures of US tax dollars.

My almost-four-year-old wants to color it pink and purple and all the colors of the rainbow.
This will be her weekend project. :)

John - You are obviously like me, an old soldier. The "greens" hit their "phase out date" at the end of September - What are being called "Dress Blues" are the current service uniform - and they are issued.
