I hear that comment almost every day, “If NASCAR just raced stock versions of the cars like backinnaday it’d be so much better” Like that exists and it’s called the SCCA. You can go to almost any notable road course and watch those races. But they’re boring and almost nobody spectates unless you know someone racing…

NASCAR will just keep racing these cars that have nothing to do with the showroom with huge pushrod V8s that aren’t remotely relevant in today’s vehicles.

I’m not even a Nascar fan, I prefer Indycar, and watch F1 and IMSA/WEC when I can. But how would turning Nascar into a GT3 Road Racing series make any sense? 

Absolutely the wrong take-away. Nobody is suggesting the 90s wrecks that Allison, Earnhardt, and others (Ernie Irvan, for example) survived weren’t lucky breaks — that’s why the safety has become such an important aspect of the engineering of these cars AND TRACKS ... but I suspect Elizabeth knows this.

This stinks of…

You’re exactly right. EV Dodge is being incredibly dickish compared to ICE Dodge. You get that bullshit crystal (Marketing: “Look. We’ve got to give the owners something for the money they fork over for ha-ha more power on tap.”) And how the power “upgrades” aren’t upgrades—it’s just a software switch in the EV’s code…

You need a rabbit with a saw to detach it first, then it looks like it just floats away by itself.

I was in Las Vegas last March for when Tim K. unveiled the Demon 170. My god, it was stupefying watching how fast that Challenger tore down the track. I never thought I’d see a production ICE car demonstrate such over-the-top specs, but there we were with our mouths hanging open. It wasn’t Ford or Chevy, it was Dodge…

So I don’t get it.

He wants the government to help him, but he doesn’t want the government to help other people.

Best I can tell, a classic case of misdirected anger. 

“He wants the government to help him, but he doesn’t want the government to help other people.”

Then you are an idiot.

The original song doesn’t make sense either though.

i have the feeling that lots of them southerners who love this song are both obese & milking welfare.

I don’t believe anyone has ever accused a right winger, in recent history, with any great degree of reading comprehension. So this tracks. 

“was immediately extolled by rightwing figureheads like Matt Walsh, Jack Posobiec, Ian Miles Cheong, Kari Lake, and Joe Rogan”

This was bound to happen. Wait until they find out he got government assistance and disability checks years ago. Even while they themselves collect government checks. 🙄

The KIA Soul still has a base MSRP under $20K in the US. It’s all the car most anyone actually *needs*. Anything beyond that is a want. KIA even has cheap financing and some small discounts. 

Sometimes they take each other out, so the population of Altima drivers is kept in check. Somewhat. Natural selection and all that.

Just missed the trifecta, Florida,  Altima, liquor store.
