The Chump is a spin master. He said a little while ago that Mexico was sending its worst people to the U.S. and disparaged the entire nation of Mexico. Now, he is spinning his tall tale and says how much he loves Mexico and Mexican people. About the only analogy I can make is having a plantation owner saying how much…

Yeah, forgot about those too. Thanks for reminding me!

Hey, I never thought about that. Both are also Ford products. Of course, the good old Ford Mustang was named after the P51. Dodge has the Hellcat so I hope that more cars are named after fighter planes.

Mustang and Raptor. As good as it gets.

Speaking of rear view mirrors, this comes to mind: In the movie, “The Gumball Rally”, the Italian driver who was co-driving the Ferrari Daytona Spyder said, “what’s behind me, is not important”.

Honda/Acura has blown it. They had a chance to try and recapture some of the magic that they had with the first gen NSX. Sadly, this wasted opportunity will be too little, too late. For it to be a halo car, like Doug said, they would have to capitalize on the NSX and design the rest of their cars with that DNA.

Sorry it took you so long to figure this out. I quit watching them after their FOURTH Super Bowl loss in 1977. They stunk up the joint with the Chiefs, Dolphins, Steelers and Raiders. Yes, the team sucks and will continue to until football is never played by anyone ever again.

I first really learned about Buddy when he was racing the Cotton Owens #6 Dodge Charger Daytona. He was a fierce competitor, but gentle as everyone said. His gentle demeanor endeared him to everyone around him. I am saddened by his loss. We will miss you Buddy!

There will be a lot of sniffing, but it won’t be from the cocaine. Crying tends to do that to people.

Careful, the Miata faithful will girlie slap you.

I will add the 1967 Holman-Moody Honker II Ford, owned by Paul Newman and driven by Mario Andretti. A lot of money was spent on it and it was so bad that Mario quipped to Paul Newman. “How about I put my name on the car and you drive it?”

Oh, I see you are still nattering about this. See, if I cave into someone like you, then the cretins of this world will win. So, I will play right along with your farce.

Well, isn’t that special? I am so impressed by your comment. Must have taken a lot of deep thinking to come up with that.

Whine? I guess your humor detector is inoperable. I meant it as sarcasm, but some person here are simply too stupid to see that. And, your 1/4 mile comparisons are lame. This is 2015 and people expect more than something you would have seen more than 19 years ago.

Amazing the number of less than happy posts that I have gotten when the whole thing was just a little sarcasm. I learned that speaking anything negative of a Miata is tantamount to the beginning of WW3.

It was a joke. Sarcasm. What the hell is with people anyways? You act like I slapped your mother or something. Get a life.

Good stuff Jim. We are on the same page. Just wish I could buy you a cold one so that we could sit and schmooze about the Golden days of racing. You are a man after my own heart!

Egads, my comment was sarcasm. Can’t anyone take a joke anymore? What is with all the stuffed shirts on this site?

I guess people missed my sarcasm. I was joking that since the engine is underpowered, an accessory outlet would drain power from the engine.

I am with you. I wish we did have some in WRC.
