I wonder if Jonesy would fit into it nowadays. Did he lose all that weight since the Masters days?

For most guys, it’s easy. But all too often I hear things like,
‘ I don’t get it, you’re just driving around and around, what’s the point?’
‘It seems so expensive, couldn’t that money be used in better ways?’
‘It’s just men comparing their sizes again’,
‘You need to grow up and stop playing kids games’

For NASCAR…

It’s summer. I would love to know how it does driving into and out of Death Valley with 4 adults and said luggage on board. Also, how well it does on some of the dirt tracks there?

Eh. I understand the moral outrage that other commenters are posting but at the same time, these are cultural/temporal artifacts that are worth noting simply because they are notes about our appearance there. We can reduce everything we see to an ethical or moral statement but at the same time cannot refute that this…

Looks like a bit of fun and then a lot of work and frustration. Methinks that an unrestricted Malibu Grand Prix car would be more interesting to flog around.

Yeah, the problem with SST is Robbys buddies who get to race can be a bit of a odd set of people. Certainly can’t say much for most of the drivers. Sheldon Creed at least managed to move on to Nascar Trucks. There’s some decent drivers in there but mostly for the circus and driving fun rather than trophies or titles.…

Simi Valley. Checks out.

The Crew would've been better served as a straight up docu drama or drama since no one outside of racing understands racing much less NASCAR racing.

While the series is uneven, it’s a great shame they didn’t get a chance to go to S2. There were so many great ideas and options for the story to go to so many levels. The biggest problem with modern day episodic development is that many good, quality shows which make it through S1 simply are deleted because they…

One might equate the two. However, the intent of each is entirely different. The effect of each is vastly different than the other. The Marshall Plan was an effort to prevent a recurrence of WW1 and WW2 in Europe, ensure the cooperation and continuity of the various European countries and to protect against communism.…

Let’s see, well, in the last 50 years or so:

Well, I'd disagree a bit about the length of their soft power abilities. But you have a point.

Well, duh. But if they call their hand in for their own needs in spite of what Montenegro need, how do you think the natives will feel? If you’re a US citizen right now, how do you feel about China doing the deep dive of denial when it comes to the origins of COVID19? Rightly or wrongly, Chinese intransigence about…

While US involvement in the ME is a mess, the ME has always been a European affair. We just happen to be the latest interloper because the Europeans and UK decided to let the big dog play with a minimum of their involvement which has resulted in the mess coming their way. It's  inevitable.

Lol, the Crimea was Russias to begin with. They just screwed up with the Ukrainians. A major portion of pre-Stalinist, Stalinist and post-Stalinist Russian notables were composed of Ukrainians. It’s just that Putting screwed up there.

The Uighurs are within their borders. It’s a vast difference to what’s needed to go to the Med and attack another country.

Sure. But, geopolitics aside, there comes a point when revolutions happen independently of US or EU involvement. The Med is like the wellspring of revolution. Is China going to be willing to underwrite a major military force to hold parts of that world? Are they going to spend the vast sums, life and treasure,…

Stupid CCP. They are going to be in big trouble when their overseas investments turn out to be duds. When the local populace gets up in arms about how bad their situation is , is the CCP going to send in troops to enforce their new colonies? The Montenegrans have the option in the West to default, do the CCP have a…

Looks exactly like one expects.

Yeah, Fatburgers fries are pretty damn good. I like the fries at The Habit too. They’re pretty excellent and very competitive in the burger dept. too. In my far distant youth, IIRC, Arbys used to have a fry set that would include a seasoned version which was basically a crispy fry fresh out of the fryer, put into a…
