Glad it helped. Ended up WAY wordier (more wordy?) than I planned.

I gotta have a crack at this, even thought it’s already been answered (sorta). The reason I say sorta: I think the answers are a bit too technical - if you’re coming at this with no working knowledge of race physics. If that’s the case for anyone here, I’m going to offer a more basic explanation (which will hopefully…

You had me at BOOBS.

I contacted AMS about getting work done on my V10 S6 and they pretty much laughed at me. I commented on their work with the Alpha 10 R8 and the answer I got was “it’s not even the same engine”.

FFS, I understand the mechanical differences in the engines (my car has a split-pin crank, the R8 has a common-pin, and on and…

• Why doesn’t the Spokane chapter of the NAACP have a more thorough vetting process?

You and I should talk ...

This was exactly the plot of “Draft Day” with Mrs. Batfleck and Waterworld Guy, right?

I spotted the blinker fluid reservoir.

Crap, I’m just happy the Audi S6 is on the list. I paid over $20k for mine, but I got a car with ~50k miles, a single owner, and a two-year warranty.

Also, I may love this car more than I’ve ever loved any other car.

I absolutely had the thought that Reek was going to snap and let Theon back to the forefront ...killing Ramsey in the process. Then I thought about what he went through in becoming Reek and figured even this wasn’t enough to get him to turn back.

Maybe he’ll decide to help her, knowing that it’ll get him killed, but he…

Oh god. From Canal to, what, St. Ann? And then again 2-3 blocks later when you hit Lafitte’s Blacksmith. Never get the smell out of my nostrils - and I haven’t been there in almost two years.

1969 AMC AMX Go Pack

You beat me to it. You fabulous bastard.

Yeah, in watching the game last night, I think I was more impressed with the Hawks defense than with Crawford in goal. I mean, Crawfored turned away EVERYTHING, but through two periods, the Wild had - what - 13 SOG? They just couldn’t get to Crawford to even get a shot off.

Correlation != causation.

You can make an argument towards the unknown drivers being the ultimate cause of the fatality, but they are not the proximate cause. The ultimate cause gives you the first item in the chain of events, but it is not the event that immediate proceeds the (in this case) fatality.

This is why I’m saving up to get seat time with an instructor before I get on a track. I’ve done a couple of auto-x events around Chicago, but when you never get out of 2nd gear, you’re USUALLY not going fast enough for truly bad things to happen. That said, I’m really hoping to get around Autobahn CC in 2015.

Email of the week almost got me fired. I should not have been reading that after my 2pm meeting started.

Fucking hell, that was hilarious.

Exactly. Though I will be one of the under 50 crowd eventually.

Where’s Captain Picard? Someone needs to make it so!

I gotta tell ya ...I think cyborg fish beats chicken. I won’t begrudge you your chicken, but ...CYBORG. FISH.
