That was some glorious sound this morning! And quite a race as well.

Damn, can’t make it out Friday. I’ll be out at COTA all day Saturday though...

Ah, for some reason I thought there was more than one team. DUH, I was confusing it with Blancpain GT series. I should have my motorsports fan card revoked.

One of the Bentley teams had their transporter parked in front of the Aston/Bentley/Rolls dealership in North Austin for several days. I didn’t get a good look at which team it was, anyone know?

Its like watching the TT Sidecars.

I wish people would just let me bet the way I want to bet. I played dark side once while I was the shooter, and you would have thought I had killed the Pope. Now, I won’t even take odds on me, I’ll just play a minimum Pass Line bet until I crap out an can go back to betting the way I want to without all the side-eye.

Because there’s not brake lights on an F1 car. There’s a rain light, which I assume everyone is mistaking for brake light.

I’m PISSED that VW has discontinued the 2 door GTI in the States. I tend to sit far enough back that I have to get in around the pillar and drop in to the seat. I guess I’ll have to move up to an S5 for my next car.

Agreed, I drive the sedan version, Audi S3.

I miss me some American Sports Cavalcade...

My dealer was more than happy to take my config for a lowly S3 before they even opened the book for MY2016. I got exactly the car I wanted, no more, no less and no fuss from the dealer.

From a Chelsea fan, take your star and go.

I had a lovely purchasing expirence with my Audi dealer. I was shopping Golf Rs to replace my GTI. After 5 or 6 months of not even being able to find one to sit in, I realised the S3 and the Golf R had the same drivetrain, so at least I could get a little taste. Drove over, told the sales guy what was up, handed me…

Little bit of survivor bias, you forgot about the Blue Jackets. And as a Stars fan since they moved to Dallas, I understand your distaste for saying they’ve done okay for themselves.

Oh, lets not just blame him. There’s a linesman or two who should be sitting as well.

So there’s really two schools of thought on this: The “American” which is simply: A win is a win. There also is the “beautiful game” which appears to boil down to winning “the right way”. Notice I didn’t say anything about “losing the right way”. Would Barca be Barca, if they had all of that beautiful buildup, but…

Yep, because every one knows about the storied tradition of Man City, pre-Sheihk Mansour. The Middle East are the modern OG oil oligarchs.

Yes, but then you’d be living in Waco.

And then the constant “Nuh uh!” about how they would buy it if only it came with a stick. I’ve owned two automatics, a 2002 Passat GLX 4-Motion (how could that engine suck so bad?!?!), and my factory ordered 2016 S3. Love my S3. I’ve also owned two GTIs and an A3 Jetta.
