It’s also the Piston’s new home and a concert venue.

It’s not a hot take - let’s not knee jerk just because you think it is about Landauer being a woman. It’s just as frustrating to see people like Ken Block get massive sponsorship and support far beyond what he needs to do his racing, when he can’t back it up with talent. This example is gender based skewing, Block is…

Please point out which portion of the post was sexist.

I don’t take his comment as sexist at all. It sounds more like that if someone doesn’t agree with you then it’s sexist/racist/or you fill in the blank.

Please enlighten us on what he said that was sexist. If anything he is being antiprogressive, but for reasons of equality and egalitarianism. He’s right, she and Dania are more popular than their results justify because of what could be called female privilege. Everyone wants to cheer her on and highlight her…

How is it sexist that I want a race car driver to be judged on their competitive merits?

It’s kind of amusing, all this ‘don’t compare her to Danica’ stuff. Much as the original article referred to was lazy, shitty journalism, this article itself treats Landauer very similarly to Danica - she is a mid-field at best driver, getting far more attention/promotion/media coverage than her results could ever…

I wish GM would use their small block in their small offroader pickup lol

Oh no people will buy good cars the horror

Hey GM employee... I loath this argument. How are you still confused about a technical term that has had a clear definition for over 100 years?

that was my point above. its the polite and respectful thing to do to listen to and absorb your elders. Not mock them for offering tips.

that really isn’t mansplaining.

As much as it’s easy to dismiss it as mansplaining, it’s also valuable to actually listen because a sliver of what is said from an older more experienced (if even slower) racer can be useful.

I race windsurfers, and back when I started to move up in the fleet a bit, much older guys placing behind me all of a sudden started giving me advice. Which (being a young guy) I initially took to be some sort of weird ego thing. It was only after a little while that I realized that here were guys who had tons of…

Yes, because 18-year olds (regardless of gender) can learn nothing from someone who has years and years of experience.

While it’s easy (and likely accurate) to say this is because she’s a woman and they are a man, I can also see the scenario where the “old guy” is trying to tell the young racer how it should be done.

NO, but I rented one from a HD dealer for 24hrs a few years ago. It had 3k on the ODO, a massive oil leak, it grinded like hell in 4th gear, and the handlebars were about ten degrees off kilter. 3000 MILES on it!

I’m a Christian but I always view televangelists as shysters. Just seems like everyone of them is a con artist. They never to speak to the spirit in me.

In my 1987 Toyota Truck, I have been keying the engine off at stoplights since I bought it. In that time, I have replaced the starter twice.
