I couldn’t agree more on the word. There’s lots of words I find offensive. I hear offensive words daily. I refrain from using offensive words. The problem is people who claims such words are offensive

Never ever forget that the 48 (JJ) has done something we'll never see again: win FIVE Cup championships in a row.  Still unbelieveable!

Well, Dennis says, "Piss on NASCAR".

NASCAR denounces 'Let's go, Brandon' conservative rally cry (apnews.com)

 

Think next year I'll watch rugby instead.

NASCAR almost lost me with all the stage nonsense. I realize peoples attention span is geared towards more instant gratification. So that was their answer. Football did lose me with the whole disrespect towards the flag. Entertaining and grievance don’t mix. Wrong time and place. You do have to be careful at what offends you though. You’ll find yourself pissed off at the world mumbling to yourself staring out the window. You need an escape from reality for a few hours. The world kinda of a drag a present.

So I guess we have to add the "B-word" as another word we can't say at a NASCAR race.

 

Why do I even bother to watch that anymore.

I still prefer nascar. I’d rather see them go back to pre stage racing. I always thought  little E was over promoted. Even though his dad was my favorite. I think bubba is over promoted. He’s going to have to step up now he has a teammate who has talent. It was satisfying seeing who became champion. Even though I would have been just as happy seeing Chase win. A son of a champion with real talent.

It’s been amusing to watch Ross give Denny a taste of his own medicine this year. I don’t have a favorite anymore since 2001. You couldn’t scripted a better ending to that race at Martinsville. Even the winner couldn’t have been more dramatic. With the schedule for next year and driver changes. Nascar could improve it popularity.

What an amazing closing lap move by the watermelon man!  Even the ex-driver commentators were awe-struck. Hamlin focused on the lack of pit road execution in his post race interview but the white as a ghost look on his face was indicative that he still couldn't believe he'd been snookered like that.

That was an awesome move, using the wall to turn while going full speed around the last corner.  Even the NASCAR/tv computers seemed to have trouble figuring out what happened...

Happy to see Kyle win with RCR. I always thought Gibbs was quick to boot drivers, this is another example.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
