Yeah, the fuel/fire issue is my assumption, the electric saw should be fine (although if it’s battery powered, I wonder which is heavier...).

I am visually confused by the different plaids David is wearing.

The gators-as-antifa stuff is 100% serious in Sweden, they took it on as a mascot and it shows up in graffiti and anti-nazi protest slogans and so on.

Yeah, offroad racing is kind of like drag racing in that a lot of the teams are family affairs and the kids get to race, so they’ve both done a pretty good job of bringing in female drivers.

I mean, there was no way Dale Jr wouldn’t be entirely in favor of this, he’s good people and a good friend of Bubba (Dale lent Bubba his private jet so Bubba could attend his grandmother’s funeral a few years ago).

NASCAR’s doing it for two reasons: 1. They’ve been trying to nudge it that way for years and this finally gives them a justification to outright ban it, and/because 2. That fucking flag is an albatross around their sport, reinforcing the view of fans as fat schlubby redneck morons who use the N-word regularly and give…

It’s a collector’s hobby except unlike scale models or sports paraphernalia the logical use is to kill people.

The New York Police Department has a $6 billion budget. Hence, my skepticism.

That is an actually useful explanation of something I’ve never understood.

I like the tailbar, actually. I think it’s supposed to evoke a road stretching off in the horizon.

Clint just misses the free beers he gets from fans in the stands.

Biden adding Kamala “the cop” Harris in response to the protests would be some real galaxy brain stuff.

In other news, racing drivers and support are not among the people who will be considered for exception to immigration lockouts.

I was amused to see that the AP had cut the quote, because the full line was “Perhaps I should not have been so cavalier”.

That’s up to the sponsors themselves, but yeah.  Once Williams lost Martini they were at the mercy of whoever came in to replace them to have a good art department and... ehhh.

Would you call that samurai-dazzle, I guess?  Also, yet another white/black/red livery lol.

Good livery, also good idea to use battery tech for comparatively short hop journeys just like we do with battery electric cars now.
