False.

So you like watching things go in circles?

Everyone on this site likes watching two groups of people moving a ball back and forth.

You like watching a bunch of men try to continuously throw an orange ball in a basket?

Nope. Can't stand basketball.

False.

So your horror isn't feigned?

That's because there's actual entertainment value in that.

RIP Mr. Wheldon, and God Bless his wife and children.

Heard he left two small boys behind....when I heard that on the radio the first thought that crossed my mind was "I wonder if their names are Walker and Texas Ranger"....

I know....I know.....I'm a cad.

You must be mighty disappointed every week then.

She's generally a safe bet to make at least the top 10, if not the top 5. And, yes, Danica HAS won a race, which is more than a lot of MALE drivers have done....

AZ, NASCAR and INDY are two different groups...similar but different.

Oh, and don't mind GATW. He is just pissy because he wasn't invited to partake in the protests on the court lawn.

Of course I was. I'm posting from there with my iPad, remember?

I'm a huge car geek, but the two primary racing I watch are Rally and Touring because those truly test the manufacturers. Sports car racing does too but I'd rather watch production vehicles than purpose-built machines, but sports car racing is not that bad either...I do follow the endurance races in that class like Le Mans and Nurburgring. NASCAR and Formula/Indy are all pretty much the same cars tuned slightly differently which bores me, and the majority of NASCAR tracks are ovals to boot.

Also, RIP Wheldon. Great driver.

Yeah, she won one race out of 115 career starts in IRL. She's an overrated mediocre IRL driver. Guys who are better drivers with more wins, better resumes get a fraction of the attention she gets.

Same with Nationwide so far:

She'll never be more than a mediocre Nationwide Driver, and she'll never be able to handle the horsepower of Cup.

She wouldn't even be where she's at right now if it weren't for her looks and the fact that she has a vay jay. So put your pom poms down.
