Back up cameras are great periscopes to see over F350 beds would be better in the Starbucks parking lot. 

That’s something I miss, too - compounded by how common illegally tinted windows are now.

I saw that when I was 10 and thought it was the best film ever.

Oh I’m gonna guess this was populated only by insufferable douchebags.

Nope. And she’s trying to get her verdict overturned. I guess Mr. Jean being at home was a threat to her, too. 

Damn it, can’t even go into your own home or be at home now without being shot. Another day, more fuckery....

Love Toto on live TV calling it a “monumental fuckup”. Oops.

I mean, if I were travelling to say, Florida, for the weekend and and the rental company offered me one of these for just a few bucks more per day, I don’t think I’d hesitate.

some dutch reporters ( 2 of them) who have followed the sport since they where young. And have been main reporters for it for almost 30 years now said they have never seen something this scary, and someone this lucky.

Calm the fuck down, dude. The guy said “as if,” not “was”. In the heat of the moment (ba-dum-tsshhh) people don’t and can’t grok everything that has to happen just right for Grosjean to walk away from this.

He was right in the middle of the flames for 19 seconds. That’s a staggeringly long time and a testament to the fireproof clothing and equipment. Watching it live was just horrifying.

A once-preposterous movie/now-plausible theory: Grojean’s a “Freejack.”*

Something better than capricious superstition, engineering.

If I’m in Romain’s shoes, I’m retiring on the spot. Nobody ever gets that lucky twice in their life. Walk away while you still can mate.

Divine intervention give me a break. This decades of engineering development by dedicated groups working on motorsport safety. There are dozens of factors designed into the cars and the procedures that saved Romains life today - I can rattle of the following from the top of my head if you need reminding.

Fire suits…

Full stop. Without the halo, Grosjean does not survive that wreck.

The halo. If that crash had happened 5+ years ago, there's a fairly high chance he'd have died. 

almost as if he had a halo protect him :P

He would have certainly sustained some nasty injuries if the halo wasn't there. His helmet would have taken the blow, and he very well might have been knocked out—and extraction would have been awful.
