That’s a real shame because the show had really started to pick up steam this season. They had finally gelled together as a cast and figured out what their shticks were, which is what you have to have in order to do a show like that that’s entirely challenge-based. Expectations made the first season and a half rough,…

Oh my god it’s no longer a punchline it’s gorgeous!

This is a fair take. It’s hellaciously circumstantial, but a group of fairly young people with a cache of very expensive cars organized through an enigmatic car software platform? It doesn’t seem far fetched to imagine that there’s something else going on here, especially with the extent of the seizures, than what…

For Arlington in particular it’s huge, because the area has nothing else going for it whatsoever; it’s not particularly well-liked by DFW residents at-large. Dallas was the only competing bid and could only hope for a net economic wash at best, whereas Arlington has a very low hurdle for this being a net economic…

It’s not a net gain for the state, it’s a gain for Arlington. Their choices are to let that tax revenue go to Dallas, the only other contending option for the ballpark, or to pony up and take it themselves.

Some say his umbilical cord was made of a strip of tire already worn down to the cords.

Those tweets were pretty great to wake up to this morning, especially the night (or two) after the world was introduced to Harris via an F12tdf sideways for 5 full minutes.

Holy smokes, 5 years of ownership for $3.5k in depreciation? That’s not a bad deal you worked out for yourself.

I was always toe-brake heel-gas until I got an NA Miata; maybe it’s just me but the pedal palcement is horrible on these cars and I don’t have much choice but to toe-gas heel-brake.

I can’t disagree with your spicy take, but the Avant sure is a looker in S4 guise, and the interior looks fantastic.

Hey, we don’t have any history of screwing up racing events at Fair Park or anything...

It’s just so weird with all of the space and actually cool spots they could put this in Fair Park. A parking lot makes sense, but it’s completely uninspired.

Did they seriously just throw this up in the Cotton Bowl parking lot? I assumed they were going to do something cool through the fairgrounds themselves, this looks pretty uninspiring and incredibly hot.

That’s absolutely true, but it’s not just the physical demands, it’s the whole attitude surrounding it. It’s great that they can have this single track mindset that they had to develop as an 8 year old to be successful as a 30 year old, but that’s almost impossible for an average person to identify with. Mark Donohue…

Not sure what you’re looking at, but just about any open-wheel racer has a neck that is tree-trunkish in comparison to their bodies, especially the F1 crew.

You say dedicated to a passion, I say horribly not-well-rounded human beings. It’s great that you can be successful as a 30 year old adult at something you blindly set your mind to at age 7 or 8, but I don’t care about your clean eating or your triathlons or the multi-level-marketing supplement scheme you’re hocking.

I’m not going to go on an anti-PC rant here, but the modern racing driver lifestyle is pretty nauseating to me as a regular dude; the vice-laden, odd-jobbing whose concept of working out consisted of manual labor and random bouts of 100 pushups is a lot easier to relate to and/or find interesting at all.

Need to visit a friend who just moved up there anyway, RSVP’d and flight booked!

If HBO is offering debt then it’s going to be as a note, probably with a conversion provision, not in any way structured as a typical bank loan.

Yeah, I’m trying to work out in my head if there’s some correlation between covering more ground more quickly and thus being more exposed. There’s a weird feeling about it for sure.
