My grandfather got killed in an accident he could have survived had he been wearing a seatbelt two blocks from his house in my rural hometown Of 1000 people. Now I put the seatbelt on to back the car out of the garage.  And I keep it on even if I am just sitting in the car. So much more comfortable with it. I just…

I think 8 drivers have won over 90% of the races in the last 5 years.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I literally fell asleep during this race.

Comparing leasing to another stupid decision doesn’t make it a smart decision.

The Venn diagram is one circle.

You are still eating the depreciation. Do you actually think the leasing company is going to lose money on the deal? They know infinitely more than you do about exactly what the car will be worth when you are done with it. They literally have whole departments calculating that.

>>NASCAR fans have been asking the series to add more road courses for years<<

Leasing cars is always a stupid waste of money for individuals. It only makes sense for companies.

>>PEOPLE REALLY JUST GO AND GET THE SAME THING AGAIN?<<

>>What became obvious immediately upon seeing the van, is that, though this thing can hold seven passengers in total, it is tiny<<

You were not making a legit gripe about F1. You were complaining about how F1 is and has been for most of it’s existence.

Yeah, pretty much like F1 has often been.

Still silly.

It wasn’t until the 80’s that Bernie consolidated ownership of the TV rights. So F1 literally does not own the broadcast rights to races in the 70’s and before.

This season’s races have been very compelling.

Yeah, giving..... giving me a headache. The teams care about this WAY MORE than the fans. I could not give two shits about how anyone gets their read brake cooling ducts.
