  1. It's a long wait but at least it doesn't have to go over an ocean, catch fire and sink.
  2. That's fair. I more look at it from which manufacturer dominates a particular series based on where they put their resources. But, I can see the point. I still hate mustangs though, just not as much as vettes. If you are a celebrity, sign your first born away and re-route your kids inheritance, then, maybe, just maybe, you can buy one....new at least.
  3. I have honestly never done the research but curious as to what makes you say this? LeMans? Referring to just production cars? To me at least, it’s hard to say anyone is the most successful since there are so many classes/series. For instance, one could make an argument that title clearly belongs to Ferrari due to F1.
  4. We’re you out there last Wednesday? I still don’t mind the bumps but I think your bet is safe of it not holding up well. And, from watching the last two F1 races, the new cars, and the drivers backs, are going to get destroyed there.
  5. I hate to say it because I think mustangs suck but that car is fast. Doesn’t handle or brake especially well. But, it gains at least 10 car lengths on me in the 15 GT3 on the back straight at COTA and then again on the front straight which is quite a bit to make up in braking zones and turns.
  6. I can agree with this minus Bottas (I think Bottas has the right passion, just not the skill). That lack of attitude and team selection/positioning I was referring to is the difference to me between him and the others.
  7. I like what I/we see of him from a likable standpoint but he seems too professionally lackadaisical which is uncharacteristic of a champion driver. He also seems to make bad team choices which is half the battle.
  8. I hate Verstappen probably more than the next person. And, I certainly don’t hold myself to be anywhere near their level. I also don’t think I am a whiny person and would think most people that know me think I am pretty nice. But, stick me in a race with all that adrenaline and competitive juices pumping and I have said some pretty dumb things over the radio even to people I think of as friends so I don’t hold that mid race chatter against them. But, great freaking race amd I think we have our new generation with Russell likely to join the party.
  9. Thank you, sir. It was absolutely killer. Thank you as well. I am decent at a couple things. Knowing this difference between .jpg, .gif, .heic is not one of them. But, good to know.
  10. Wife's (no pics) birthday today so A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye and Live Main Lobster. Possibly one of the best meals of my life and an idiot could cook it with just the slightest bit of research (I actually took after pics of the steak this time so I wouldn't be accused of burning it).

  11. Should be an interesting season. Just picked this up from my old photos. This was the first time I witnessed a F1 car and was amazed at how much they sounded like a jet on wheels. I miss those days. Sound on. B3E139B9-53B4-4082-B880-5E289F599870.MOV
  12. Something to do with the batteries in the electric cars that were on board and water not being able to put them out.
  13. I am still going with, once the tire is compromised on a high performance car, replace it. It's not worth saving $300-500 to have a blow out at the wrong time. Buy the tire insurance from the dealer or discount and move on.
  14. To make matters even worse, they are stopping production on GT3’s on 3/17 due to a supply chain issue related to Ukraine. So, if his isn’t started before then, it will be much longer.

    Getting old sucks

    Same. 3 am is the worst. All the deals and what could go wrong, tasks I didn’t get to the previous day, things I forgot about, new made up worries that I never thought of, things I am concerned with in the future, all roll through my head. No good thoughts at all. Finally dismiss them, maybe send myself an email to get it off my head, wake up at 6 and realize how stupid my 3:00 brain was.
  16. Just checked. Looks like it's still on with the same organizer.
  17. Just got an email that COTA has free entry and parking to the Ferrari Challenge race Saturday. Those things are a lot of fun to watch. Usually a bunch of older rich people that are great at playing bumper cars with their Ferraris.
  18. Did they? Bummer. I never did it just talked to a couple people that did and sounded like a blast.
  19. I'm skipping the obligatory USB ports, etc. But, on a serious note, you can hit up these guys. It might be a good candidate for one of the participants: https://www.foolsroll.com
  20. I saw a dude with a Rolex on each wrist the other day. Not much surprises me anymore.
  21. Yeah, uhm, no. If you track your cars it is definitely worth it. Rockers don’t protect the front bumper, hood and roof from rocks and rubber. For the 992, I wrapped the entire car in xpel and then ceramic on top of that. 991 front half is wrapped with ceramic on top of that.
  22. Oops, didn't realize this was a bump, lol. But, glad I could help.
  23. I do a lot of business with people from Chicago so kind of hard to impress them with steak places. So, generally, I do Emmer and Rye for out of towners. It's a good atmosphere and the food is very unique. Highly recommend.
