A 20 count Chicken McNugget with mustard sauce and a large Coke. The box fits perfectly in my center console and the cup in the cup holder…. Beef jerky for back up. Gummi Bears and white chocolate M&M’s for when I start to get tired.  The burst of sugar is perfect to get one to their second wind on a long drive.

I love some of the details. My favorite: the rod on the dashboard to keep the windscreen from caving in at speed. Just amazing!

I don’t get it. It chills the Champagne to precisely 6 degrees, presents who the fuck knows at 15 degrees, but doesn’t actually serve the owners anything. Are they so pretentious that the serve themselves?!?!? I mean, the staff must be following in a Renault Twingo...

Wait a minute! There is a car that is remotely competitive with the Mercedes? It has to be cheating! No doubt about it!

How is it that sub shops like Jimmy John’s, Firehouse and Jersey Mikes can toast a sub and melt the cheese without hurting their employee, but Subway owners can’t figure it out? They must really have a really low opinion of their “Sandwich Artists”!

I’d refuse that thing Mercedes offers (“Air Balance”??) to make the car smell better.  I don’t smell bad and neither do my family and friends.  If we do smell bad, we don’t notice and don’t care what you think!

The South of the Border billboards! The attraction itself is meh, but I’ve always enjoyed the billboards up and down I95 since I was a kid, some 40 years ago!

MazeSpin can still go 2 seconds slower AND STILL be within the F1 107% rule! I’m dumbfounded..... I mean, I can hear the conversation between Haas and Steiner:

The Volusia County motto is “Hold my beer...”. As a Daytona Beach local who drives across that bridge regularly, it doesn’t open THAT MUCH! But, to say I haven’t been tempted....

My Senior Thesis for my Economics degree was on the economics of electric cars (EV’s today). I made 3 basic points. A) Battery technology would advance significantly faster then that of power production and transmission. B) Wide scale adoption of EV’s would only move emissions from the tail pipe to the smoke stack,…

My company bought a Chrysler Town & Country minivan for marketing purposes. First, I never envisioned myself ever driving a minivan! Neither had any of my friends. As I was involved in those marketing activities, my face was largely prominent on both sides. Yes, I put the “van” into “Vanity”. I had to drive it…

I can now truely appreciate IndyCar’s AeroScreen after watching that accident and that Grosjean walked away relatively unscathed. Racing accidents, in general, have a nasty habit of finding the one spot, the one thing, nobody thought of!

I’m in! I mean, hell, it can’t be any worse that’s the go carts at our local pay-to-cart track, which I always seem to get the cart that either stalls on every left hand turn or understeers into snap oversteer, like a Home Depot shopping cart.....

I forgot how funny that was!  He said co....

IMHO, Auto enthusiasts are quite often about speed: top speed, 1/4 mile, winning the race, etc.. Speed is distance over time. I grew up watching lap times with my watch.  The two are intrinsically tied together.  Fine cars and fine watches.  

I forgot about Sutil! OMG! Right!!!

“Terrible” may be the wrong word here as, over the past 40 years, I followed many drivers who never ‘made it’. They had just (barely?) enough talent AND money to make it into the top tier of racing, be it IndyCar, NASCAR Cup, F1 or the sports car scene. If they were truly terrible, they never made it a full season. T…

While I may be watching the race online this year, I’ve gone the last 11 years strait :( , the race is fun to watch on TV as the people they have to announce it are very knowledgeable about the race and will tell all kinds of stories and make the experience worthwhile.

Have you ever watched a movie and had to listen to that guy tell everyone how nobody uses this helicopter anymore or those SEAL’s don’t use those tactics, pretty much telling anyone and everyone who will listen everything that is wrong with it? Yeah? Well, racing fans are much, much worse! I should know, I AM THAT…

We need Dinner With Racers to investigate! They LOVE stories of con’s, crook’s and cheats!
