  1. Hey where's my MPGA hat? No worries. Surely Trump will be hawking them in ads soon. Yeah I remember when my Uncle Benton and his identical twin brother Clinton would come to my grandmother's house in Tennessee over the Holidays. The only way us kids could tell them apart was Benton being barely able to walk at all on his horribly misshapen left leg. It was from the bout he had with polio as a kid, but whenever us kids would ask our parents about it they would always try to change the subject because they didn't want us to have to worry about something that wasn't going to affect our future health. Welp, so much for that going forward, I guess ...
  2. Every time someone posts a pic of this guy, this is all I can see ...
  3. The FIA actually might not be able to, but FOM and the teams sure can. They're making far more money than ever before.
  4. Anyone know when remaining seats will go on sale to the public (if there are any)?
  5. I've been calling for this for 20+ years.
  6. Fuck cancer. Eddie Jordan says he's fighting an aggressive form of bladder and prostate cancer. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/eddie-jordan-reveals-aggressive-cancer-diagnosis/10681892/?_ga=2.122877195.1417257564.1732902104-940737110.1610577366 I took a photo of Mrs. Wood (no pics) with Eddie in the Paddock a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it. Very happy, friendly man on that day, as he's always seemed to me whenever I've seen him.
  7. Of course it will. They think Trump isn't part of the problem, even though his policies made the problem far worse. He was the one who deprioritized deportation of criminals and significantly reduced the numbers of deportations overall. Obama prioritized deportation of criminals and made far more criminal deportations and far more overall removals per year for 8 years than Trump ever did. Then Trump killed the Bipartisan Border Bill and heaped all the blame on Biden ... and fml, it worked, because people are fucking morons.
  8. They are. That's what F1 wanted and apparently still wants. There's a lot F1 could do even within that m.o. though that could make the racing more variable while reintroducing a 'push, push, push' mentality and getting rid of the ridiculous tire nursing. But I guess F1 is just too lazy for that these days. They'd rather just fuck around with stupid 'fixes' for shit that's not broken than find solutions for the things that are. Even when they do find productive solutions, they just ditch them within a year or so because a big team or two just can't get their heads around how to make it work and be quick at the same time, and then cry 'safety'. Can Pirelli produce a race tire that performs well over at least half or even all of a race distance the way Michelin, Bridgestone, etc have done with ease for decades? I don't know, but having owned some myself that were on a new car I bought, I have my doubts. Pirelli tires are ass, my dude. I'll never buy another tire not named Michelin, but if I had to, there are so many brands that are way ahead of Pirelli that they would never even be an option to consider, esp at such high prices.
  9. Yep. Apparently only Pirelli knows who was on which of the 6 compounds tested. They also controlled tire pressures, stint length and fuel loads each car.
  10. People are saying Hadjar to RB. And apparently there's South American press saying Colapinto to Alpine. Also, there's gossip that Colapinto & his management have started following the IndyCar & LeMans pages on s/m. Not sure there's much to that, but who knows. I was told it's F1 tho. And oh yeah, I forgot this bit earlier. I was told it is not Cadillac or Williams. ETA: I was told just now that it's either Alpine or RB.
  11. So, maybe Lawson to RBR?
  12. Just heard from my friend who knows F1 things .... Colapinto confirmation announcement incoming soon. That's all he said, and I didn't press for more. ETA: I think RB.
  13. Yep. I got back into it pre-election, and haven't stopped watching since. It's good again fer shure yeah youbtecha ...
  14. Welp. Thanks Trump. Mexico is our most frequent, favorite vacation destination. I was telling Mrs. Wood (no pics) the other day that we'd better start planning a trip there, because there's no telling how much longer we'll be welcome the way we always have been.
  15. No not brand new, but since it hadn't been mentioned in this thread that's dedicated to that particular game, I figured it could be of use here.
  16. Is she talking about deporting American expats living in Mx ?
  17. Saturday 12/21 at 3:00.
  18. Yeah I'm seeing people saying he tried in the first term but 'Pelosi torpedoed it'. Smells like bullshit.
  19. Apparently he also said something about working with the Dems to try and work out a legality plan for Dreamers. I don't remember him saying anything like that during the campaign, or am I misremembering? Of course, he still wants to end birthright citizenship. Trump details sweeping changes he’ll carry out on day one and beyond in an exclusive interview Trump vowed to launch a mass deportation effort, impose tariffs and pardon many convicted in the Jan. 6 attack in an interview with “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-details-sweeping-changes-ll-carry-day-one-exclusive-interview-rcna182858
  20. Ouch. What a daggar. That shit reminded me of Dicker the Kicker vs ou. Zero fucks to give.
  21. Except with a 12 team playoff, that FSU team woulda been in.
