Great stuff though overall. It is a damn shame that they cater so much to the vets. For my money I’d have liked to see a photo of Rossi when he first pulled into victory lane when he just quietly paused in the car and all the excitement of everyone around him. That was a great moment and it would’ve worked well as a…

I drove/rode 13 hours in a rental one of these when I was in college. It was terrible.

Is this the first case of an American hero taking the brunt of criticism in place of a Brit?

You really nailed it Tav. Especially the bit about the reviews:

Tell her the driver’s seat might have an impression from Draper’s supposed big, ahem, member.

I was going to go with Jon Kitna.

Isn’t this Any Rand’s philosophy at its core? Ignore empathy, morality and ethics. The market is king and decides worth and cost and the people who exploit are just doing as the market dictates.
