You don’t know much about Vegas, only what the media shows you. Many people live there because of the cost of living (no state income tax being a big benefit) and many other reasons that have zero to do with the hospitality industry.

The article didn’t make it clear whether the whole vacation was being spent in Vegas. I’d guess it wasn’t.

Really? You think that’s funny? An appropriate “joke” to make to somebody? And you’re timing could not be “better”: today is fourth anniversary of my dad’s passing and only a week earlier was the fourth anniversary of my mom’s passing. Yes, they died one week apart from each other after 60 years of marriage.

And, yet, everybody else said the same thing about your “choice.” How about this:

Did. And you’re still way fucking wrong. I’m guessing you’re in your late teens-to-mid-twenties with little in the way of music diversity and music history knowledge. Even if not: still way fucking wrong.

Oh, hell yeah! In fact, I’ll put up a winter road crew from ODOT (Oregon DOT) or ski resort shuttle bus drivers against those Perrier-guzzling Euro-weeny pit crews any day for that competition:

According to the article, it seems that F1 was more concerned about the broadcast being at a not-unreasonable hour for European viewers.

So let’s break this down:

Without the studs.

Nope. #1 for store-bought tortilla chips is:

It’s a Planelopnik story. Jalopnik covers all types of transportation. Get over it.

I hope this race is a huge flop.

Maybe Pirelli will break out Winter Sottozero tires for the race... <smh>

Thank goodness my late parents watched NBC Nightly News and MSNBC. We argued on most everything else, though. <sigh> I miss my parents. I’m a Boomer/Gen X-er (1964) and my current garage holds a 100% sensible for my needs and location (Central Oregon—high desert, snows, lots of ski trips in the winter) 2019 Subaru…

Nope, born in 1964 on the cusp between the Boomers and Gen X (anybody remember Gen X? seems it’s all about Millenials these days...) and my tastes are the Porsches I can’t afford and the amazing motorcycle superbikes that have come into my garage (used, at bargain prices) that will outperform anything on four-wheels…

I would counter not to ruin the fun! It’s like surfing: you don’t tell the world about awesome secret breaks or you’ll never get a good wave to yourself.

Yeah, this was pretty much Steve’s conclusion. I don’t ride dirt (because I’m not crazy about riding sportbikes with dirt tires and don’t have those loonies’ skill set) but always wear an Aerostich Roadcrafter suit. I know that there are many ADV riders (the ones actually venturing off-pavement) who also wear one of…

Just checked the couch cushions, couldn’t find a penny. Of course, I’m not a rich racer, either. Also: really? Pay-to-drive on a project that could very well end up in the driver’s death if even the slightest thing goes wrong at high speed? Nope.

I can’t even look at you right now, Bradley. I am so disappointed in you:

Great job, Cindy. Oftentimes, a break-down like this just comes across as completely over-wrought but this was just so well-written. Your article gave me all “the feels” about the movie and Ms. Lautier. Thanks!
