Because of the 8am ET start of the coverage I was worried that they'd had too much sleep beforehand and wouldn't make their usual giddy comments. They finally came around some. The Japan race they were punchy as all get-out, but I didn't have time to do quotes...

That Button/Webber race was great. When Webber got by around lap 45 the commentators were saying "there's no point in Button holding Webber up, he's gotta make anothe stop anyways." Did you see where Button was when Webber came out after his last stop? About 3 seconds ahead! If Button had *let* Webber go by…

There were plenty of interesting passes...unless you firmly believe that any passes in the DRS zones are contrived and are therefore disqualified from being "interesting." Still, with the back-to-back DRS zones I loved the back-and-forth passing duels with Button/Webber and DiResta/Alguersuari.

I'm more worried about that fender-bender that the body shop pounded out. It only takes one slightly damaged cell to cascade throughout the pack. The saving grace is that LiIon seems to be somewhat more forgiving than LiPo. Unfortunately what you gain in hardiness you lose in capability and longevity.

The automobile industry is just now realizing what the hobby and electronics industries have known for years...LiIon and LiPo batteries don't like being beat up. The problem is not noticed all that much in personal electronics because and impacts hard enough to damage the battery has probably destroyed the device as…

I've been wanting to do the Mongol Rally for years ever since a few local college kids did it. I had been preparing my supplies for the last few years, expecting that next year might be the year!!

I'm pretty sure that's a Lambo, dude.

OK, so a stolen bike = animal cruelty and food tainting? You're my hero.

Wait, a skull flag *and* tassle handgrips? Oh wait, it looks like a chick frame so, future Billetproof gal?

Beat me to it.

And I'll always have my dreams...wanna make out? ;P

A quick and easy guide to owning the car of your dreams in two words:

Fiberweed FTW!

Whatcha got in the trunk?

"a mechanic at Miami International Airport" We can at least *hope* that "mechanic" here means he fixes escalators and luggage sorters instead of aircraft.

I don't need a virtual codriver. What I need is a condiment bitch. Got any good relish recipes?

I think I'll start small. I'll just hang my big screen TV on the side of my garage, snake an extension cord out and play Forza4 on my Xbox while sitting in a lawn chair.

Whenever I go to Olive Garden and the BOF comes by and asks if I'd like to try the "house red," the only thing I think of is that there must be one of these nearby to refill the carafe. At least, that's what it tastes like...

Now you've got me wondering about this. Inquiring minds want to know. If you look at the other "SRT8 vs ..." videos they're all doing sub 10's. And those all looked "stock" too. Actually, they were putting down times on par with the subject of this article, who had the de rigueur drag tires.
