  1. A couple of quotes from that article caught my eye; So it sounds like they (not sure who "they" are) have a hard on for the Andretti's. Mario must have pissed someone off. I can see that. LOL! All these articles have used the word "dilution" but this is the first one that I read that kind of makes sense to me (clueless of F1), but this sounds like a way the other teams can reject someone they don't want by pricing them out. The paragraph after that one sums up what I think is the correct take from this; I bring this up, and some of the comments in that article are along the same lines; this kind of squabbling, protection, call it what you want - can be the eventual downfall of of a sanctioning body. If memory serves, the USAC/CART wars of years past as an example - which in the end - didn't benefit racing or the fans. I hope they can work something out. And I will reserve the the right be be completely wrong since I don't follow F1 that close (I am a fan of the Andretti's, GM, and open wheel racing in general).
  2. It might depend on the car maker; from Bubblevision Rolls-Royce sees record sales 2022, no slowdown in spending by the wealthy Imagine that!
  3. That's only the bottom, too tall to post the entire thing.
  4. I can't find it, but I read something not long ago that the 8 year loans were drying up. There is a chip problem too. I was at my dealer twice in the last couple of months - a ghost town - and not many cars on the lot. Not that that matters, this is Cornhole. From Finviz (1 year performance);
  5. The GM's of the world have as advanced technology in their test labs and proving grounds as anyone in the world. With their help this team could/will compete. Been going on forever really. They called them "house cars." It's good for racing.
  6. Another view, this one from the Indy Star which has been the go to paper for the Indy since forever, so they probably have a bias to the Indy teams. Michael Andretti's answered every F1 challenge. It's time to green light Andretti Global. - Indy Star (couple of days old)
  7. Interesting, thanks.
  8. There is no solution. We Я fucked.
  9. LOL! Really? You should dig a little deeper, and isn't only Presidents.
  10. I know, that's what I thought when I first hear that line.
  11. Vote blue no matter who
  12. Amash isn't in congress the last I looked. Wonder why? The rest is just bullshit talking points. I think you can figure out what we need if you think hard enough. It really isn't difficult.
  13. If the few who have good intentions when they get there, it is taken from them not long after. You go along to get along, or you are out. The money will not flow, and that's all that matters. We don't have elections, we have auctions.
  14. There are no truth tellers in congress. Only people who get filthy rich by taking bribes while feeding their constituents bullshit like they are "fighting for them." Fuck off with that shit. Whores, the whole lot of them - bomb-throwers or not. And that goes from the White House to the local courthouse.
  15. Keep guzzling the cool-aide, you ain't drunk enough yet.
  16. Some really good stuff in those interviews. I think Justin would be a good Speaker, but that's why it will never happen. These people don't care about us, all they care about is power and money. They are corrupt to the core.
  17. After I watched the video I decided to check their ages. That's a 49 year old Walters and a 31 year old Dolly. Makes it even more impressive.
  18. If they can't get a Speaker, no monetary things can happen, so they don't get paid. If this goes on long enough, maybe they all get pissed off and go home. We can pick names out of a phone book to replace them and be better off. Win OK, I've had a few beers and a doobie (thanks Michigan) so I'm only half kidding.
  19. Or maybe not; there is only one class act here, and it ain't her.
  20. I don't follow F! that close, but I do the racing here (in all forms), but I can't believe this is nothing but good news, in various ways. *** Racing related: next week is what is known as the Chili Bowl. Tulsa, OK, a 440,000+ sq/ft building, half of it is a dirt track (dirt trucked in), and the other half is pits. Close to 400 entries. They race everyday from 9/10 am until late at night. Well known NASCAR guys, sprint car guys, plus the nations best in the midgets all run the week. My two oldest puppies are going along with our other bud (our race team when they are close). Dad's too old for that shit, dammit, but I also have a cat.
  21. Andretti, General Motors team in F1 pursuit - Speed Sport News
  22. The combines are working overtime.
  23. Oh, please. That's about as stupid as some dipshit who told people to learn to code.
  24. I don't agree with some of that article, and I could care less what Mike Rowe has to say, even if he does have a TV show filming him shoveling shit. But: It's all about the bottom line. Living the great life in the hamster wheel Я us.
  25. The draft ended in 1973 if I remember right. I was a year too young but would have been toast as my number was 8. Some of my buddies weren't so lucky. The war was a huge thing to us people as we were all worried about going, not to mention all the stuff that was going on here. Like the 1970 Kent State thing. And of course we had the anti-war songs as well. Wild times, and not so good. I knew people at Kent State, even to this day, on both sides, students and the guard. I also had a bunch of buddies who ended up in Nam. Some didn't come home, and many didn't come home the same. Some are not right to this day, including one of my best buddies who still has flashbacks. Then of course there were others; like the guy in the bowling alley I worked who went nuts. Hid in the back of the bathroom in the last toilet stall thinking he was in Nam foxhole and going to kill anyone who came near him. What do you do with someone like that? And it was all for what?
