Oh for fuck's sake, there haven't been "stock cars" in NASCAR for well over 60 years. I honestly don't get guys like you. It's racing. Who gives a shit if the sanctioning body's name, which was appropriate when founded, doesn't match what's currently raced? IndyCar races at racks other than Indy. Do you refuse to…

The Beeb and this producer he got into a "fracas" with need to get the sand out of their vaginas so we can get TG back on.

No, we can't all agree on that. Clarkson is great. This blows.

I'm surprised a goddamn unicorn didn't fly by, too.

Until you make it to middle management, keep up with your TPS reports...

That statement is an urban legend and is false.

That was good.

I live nearby and was last at the Air Zoo several years ago. That Tomcat is bad ass.

A lawsuit by Busch to be re-instated? No way. NASCAR is a private entity and can suspend him for whatever it wants, just like the NFL can suspend its players. Busch's best hope is that NASCAR will re-evaluate his indefinite suspension in light of the fact that no criminal charges will be pressed against him.

Actually not if you are employed by the state. I am at-will employee and am also an attorney. Due process involves liberties - either those given to you by the constitution or statute or those recognized by the courts via case-law. Employment, even if given by the state, is not one of them. Your liberty as a free…

Due process is also for one's job. In this case, NASCAR is covering its ass in light of what happened in the NFL.

For fuck's sake, what a stupid question. Have you stopped beating your wife?

He doesn't buy them. He's posted on Twitter that he asks the teams for the shells of wrecked cars and they give them to him. Why? Because he's Junior.

It's a NASCAR race car, not "a NASCAR." NASCAR is a abbreviation. Sorry, extreme pet peeve.

Hell, not too long ago automatics, in general, were shit and slower and less fuel efficient than manuals. That time has passed. The eight-speed ZF in my Audi is smooth as butter and fuel efficient. I've owned manuals and autos, but won't shed a tear when the last manual dies away, as is bound to happen in another…

Ok. My point is that if manuals were still in demand, Audi/Lambo/Ferrari/etc. would still be making them. Used DCTs will, thus, naturally be demand more than manuals. If you say manuals will hold their value, then fine. I doubt they're in any higher demand than DCTs, though, just as they weren't when new.

I doubt that, too. If they were selling a lot of manuals, they'd still be making them. There just isn't the market for them across the board. These aren't 45 year-old Ferraris with rare options that would make them valuable, they're (comparatively speaking) mass-produced, modern sports cars. If anything, someone…

Bet you still have a rotary phone.

No, no it won't. It'll depreciate the same as every previous gen car. Those who can afford these will want the new model, not strive for the previous-gen R8, even if the exterior looks aren't that different. The interior will, I'm sure, be improved, aside from it having more horsepower/torque than the old one.
