Well, glossing over the fact it belongs to a private owner who probably invested quite a bit in owning it in the first place. 

I don’t think it’s exclusively a tactic of the ultra-rich. You can find billions of eBay auctions starting the same way, with a starting bid well under the reserve.

No, auctions start below the reserve, which if I'm not mistaken is secret. That's why some end as "reserve not met".

LOL

I don’t know anything about NASCAR, so maybe someone can fill me in. Is anyone mentioned in the article actually gay?

“You should have wrecked him two laps ago.”

Luckily this was able to shuffle under the meme radar due to the absolutely epic rage-quit of Natalie Decker’s spotter.

Ya but this is deadspin, everyone is offended here.

I remember Dale Earnhardt intentionally blocking Jeff Burton to avoid being lapped before a mysterious “caution for debris” was finally thrown. Burton seethed over the radio: “Dickhead!”

My guess? This is nothing more than a joke, in which case all the complaining about it fulfills the stereotype that we Millennials are way too sensitive and take ourselves way too seriously.

The last time I bought a car from a dealer, my wife’s Odyssey, we had the car picked out, secured our own financing, and had the price negotiated. It still took four hours at the dealer, with two small children in tow. It doesn’t matter how friendly and accommodating they were, it was still miserable.

It’s funny too, because the end goal doesn’t seem that crazy when it comes to the dealer experience.

Was she ever more than “that woman who also races???”

Funny how for the last 50 years, or so, there have been hundreds and hundreds of men with similar career results but now it’s only an issue because she’s a woman.

Hundreds and hundreds of men that you can’t name or remember.

Way to pretend she was a good driver just because she has boobs.

Two final chances for her to blame someone else for crashing out. Good luck!

One total fluke win in IRL, a rain-shortened race in Japan. IIRC she never even had a top 5 in NASCAR.

Alanis, almost any comment critical of Ms.Patrick’s performance runs the risk of being met with cries of sexism. While some might take issue with your characterizing her performance as “mid-pack”, you are 100% correct when you say she stood as a role model for young women and girls, and NASCAR continues to be…

Fact: She is not a driver that produces results in NASCAR.
