Call me morbid, but when I watch a NASCAR race these days and see a driver take a hard hit, I think back to drivers like Roper and Alexander who took hits of similar intensity, yet lost their lives. Had Earnhardt not died as a result of his accident, I can’t help but wonder how many more lives would have needed to be…

My bad. I was commenting to comments, not your article. Kinja newb. I’ll get it sorted.

Requirements? At an FCA dealer? I not even sure “Having the money” is all that important.

You have a point...lessoned learned.

His name is DoucheMcBaggus man. You have to expect these things.

Where did you see the word “Tesla” anywhere in that post?

I crack my knuckles all the time. Ankles. Toes. Back. Feels good. But holy crap do I hate hearing other people do it, ha.

Different strokes for different folks. The RS is bonkers fast, but not a car I would want to live with on a daily commute. The S3 is nice but less practical and no manual option.

This is actually awesome. For local locations I’m losing track of which stars mean “places I like” and which means “places I’d like to check out.” And for travel destinations it would be really useful to be able to differentiate by “MUST VISIT,” “would like to visit,” and “meh, if we have time” locations.

Came here to post this. NASCAR now will not have stories like this to generate PR. In an era where clicks, shares, and viral videos rule the world a story like this should be welcomed by NASCAR.

I remember that race.

The car had been on its roof. He was sitting in the ambulance and noticed the wheels were still on. He had one of the recovery guys crank it over and it fired up so he jumped back in and drove it to the pits.

My favorite comeback from a wreck was Earnhardt Senior in the 97 Daytona 500. The car was twisted to hell, and they had to duck tape the rear decklid back on, modern NASCAR would not approve.

Those type of cars can still be on the track if it takes less than 5 minutes to remove the sheet metal while on pit lane. If it is so bad it “must” be taken to the garage, they’re done for the day.

I’m going to miss see cars like this in Cup. I guess I will have to see more modified races.

Dashcams are like winter tires. Everyone is like, “Yeah, it would be nice to have, but I don’t need it.”

Then you get one, and you will NEVER drive without one ever again.

Then you get…

Craigslist ad: “Runs good. Minor oil leak.”

Every investigation, EVERY investigation, henceforth should begin by asking the parties involved if Shaggy was playing in the immediate vicinity.

Iconic hood scoop gave it away for me.

Poor Subaru.

“You could jump right across the Grand Canyon in a Hilux, fail to clear the chasm because it actually isn’t that fast, and land in the river below with nary a scratch. Such is the strength of the Hilux.”
