I’m not american to start with, but I find it difficult to support the arguments that say indifference isn’t a greater threat, when you then spend the next few paragraphs stating that the competition / opposition are demons.

Just one problem, you can’t plate them easily in North America. In Canada, you have to assemble the Atom as if it were a kit car to get it plated. This is not ideal for someone who is only home 1.5 months at a time.

I’ve always wanted one of their cars, but in the realistic world, I don’t see this happening without my funding some lotteries in the near future.

Which goes right back to the argument that Tom made in the first place. As a buyer it’s your responsibility to buy within your means.

How did you know? Where is the camera in my office!!!

Really? If I didn’t have to drive on the hwy so often, I would have bought a Kei car years ago. I still consider getting an electric motorcycle for going to and from work, as I don’t need to have a 4 door sedan for most of my driving.

I know i’m a couple of days late to the party on this one, but how does a country, where half of the fauna is venomous / poisonous, and the other half is just vicious, become more of a nanny-state than North America for reckless sport events?

We have that already. Torx is a series that plays in the muddy dirt, and we have King of the hammers that plays on rocks and very dry dirt.

Um... is she posing in front of her chicken coup?

I would love to be a fly on the wall in one of Kimi’s sponsorship negotiations though.

So I lived in downtown Toronto for a few years, and I had a nice condo on Queen Street (trendy district). The one eyesore and problem was a notorious bike thief named Igor who would trade drugs or money for obviously stolen bikes.

Mark Webber is still a favorite of mine. He was a lot more daring than Alonso, in that he left F1 for an untested car (919) and was pushed to the limit again. Not a Toyota with no real competition, except for the sister car.

Doesn’t ROC (Race of Champions) meet the need of taking drivers from all the nations, in various forms of racing, and putting them through a small circuit in various cars meet the “who is the best driver” requirement? I love that they race in a BAC mono and the open wheelers do great, but put them in an Aston Martin…

I found the same from Vinepair and Chicago tribune, the top beers in the US are Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Light... not what I would associate with a fedora wearing 30 something who is trying to say his great taste in beer is just not realized by the masses. The masses like their beer to be light in flavours, low…

He’s to make up for Celine Dion. 

Should also point out that most restaurants also buy their kegs and bottle distribution from the beer store. It’s that or the LCBO (in Ontario only I mean). This increases the number of top ten purchases, as these are the standard taps in most establishments.

With 400 people on an Engineering team, are you certain one of them isn’t looking at the competition, and noticing the on board camera is showing their brake settings and bias? Even if it means the crazy Finn is squirrely at speed, if it gave him 0.5s a lap, it will be copied.

I have been wondering the same thing... As I have $1200 in tires, $600 in brake rotors and pads, and putting premium fuel in my tank, as per the manufacturer requirement, why am I concerned for the $20 in wipers, or $10 in brake fluid?

Slightly off topic, but take Rosanne Barr as an example. She said something reprehensible in a tweet, and is now crying that she’s ostracized. She still gets to have sound bites about how sorry she was for the comment, and also yell foul at anyone who supported James Gunn for his firing as a comparison.

This was the one I was wondering about as well. He admitted that he was a heel, and apologized to the person he wronged, not the public of outsiders who are the judges of his character going forward.
