Yeah, when people say what they “need” they may mean something utterly frivolous, but they may also mean “this is how we’ve decided to prioritize our lives to maximize our happiness.”

“ they can probably walk!”

Also for those ham-fisted folks - you do not GRAB the wheel. It is not some grab-bar to hoist away at, as chunk is the enemy. You steer and while in control, you grip is loose, using your fingers, not your palms. Those “big hands” arguments need not apply.

Both parents work outside the home and the teenager’s school, work and extracurriculars make life much easier for them if they have a car.

Wow, I hadn’t noticed how badly it was damaged until I saw your freeze-frame...obliterated is a good representation.

High risk, low reward.

He’s lucky he died in the shootout. Survivers typically only do so temporarily and their deaths are usually much more brutal. The cartel doesn't play. I doubt his friend will last long in prison.

I’m assuming it would have a line similar to this.

I think it generally does bring some economic benefit to the surrounding areas. COTA claims $5 billion in economic impact since 2010 and things like 40,000 jobs. I would take that with a grain of salt obviously but I would bet F1 is their biggest draw every season.

That being said, economic impact of racing aside, your…
