I didn’t mean to imply there was no young talent in either IRL or CART at the time, there clearly was. Imagine a world where Tony Stewart, Alex Zanardi, and Juan Pablo Montoya got to inherit the same type of series that Mears, Michael and Little Al did.

Miller is a journalistic shock-jock; he’s the Howard Stern of racing coverage.  His whole design is to have the reader following him, wondering what he’s going to come out and say next.  Like Stern, a lot of what came out of his mouth was happy horse shit, but a lot of it was meaningful, important, and often prescient…

I miss Robin’s segment on Wind Tunnel. I didn’t always agree but Robin and Dave Despain made a great pair and it was assured to be funny and borderline politically incorrect.  I miss that show on Sunday night. 

Loved him as a pseudo-correspondent for Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain. Unfortunately, any commentator who unabashedly calls out sports sanctioning bodies on their bullshit, in favor of the individuals competing within said sport, will always have a rocky career.

The second you use the term “SJW” you turn off the entire audience except those who already agree with you. 

I’m with you on about all points, and am thrilled about the last few years. I have a college buddy who is an F1 fanatic. For a long time the heyday argument was the only one I had because Indy had become a joke. But about 5 years ago I started needling him that he didn’t have to stay up all night just to watch a fancy …

207shitbox's is a car group. I did not participate in the spelling.

This aggression will not stand!

Welcome to the world of inexpensive low revving pushrod engines that would last forever. There is a reason GM earned “ GM engines run bad longer than most engines run”. Besides as any LS/LT wingnut will tell you the engines outside of displacement weren’t particularly massive in physical dimension.

People can dither…

And to think the GM 5.7 diesel didn’t even make the list...you all should have to daily drive one for the rest of your natural born lives to pay for your sins.  It wasn't even good enough to be used as a boat anchor.

I’d take the 3800, the 302 and the Cologne 4.0 OHV off that list. They’re very dependable engines.

Hot take on the LS1. First time I have ever seen someone complain about the LS having “no torque”, or not revving. Granted, 6500 won’t set the world on fire, but it’s hardly disappointing.

#11 says the 2.0 Turbo, but the description is about the non-turbo version.  Completely agree the non-turbo is an absolute dog.

I will not stand for this slander of the 3800.

“If there is one thing republicans ARE good at, it’s at telling democrats ‘no.’ Infact, I would go so far to say that it’s their specialty. Their one true talent.”

Don’t forget David Tracy.

oh ffs, for the last time THE FIRST AMMENDMENT GUARANTEE TO FREE SPEECH IS FREEDOM FROM THE GOVERNMENT TAKING ACITON AGAINST YOU, and even then there are limits. Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences, and it doesn’t mean you get or deserve a platform.

If you are going to walk around in my neighborhood…

I don’t see any members of the government involved here.

Same here. Farm kid in the city who still has a bunch of friends from back in the day. It’s frustrating, especially the parroting of the talk point of the day all the damn time.

Not enough stars.
