Le Mans 24Hr 2015
I live in the US and you are right in that the past few years the coverage has gotten much much better. Here I think it is FS1 or 2(Fox Sports 1/2). I think part of it is they don't race every week to the intervals and remembering drivers/teams is dificult as well. Oh I love night racing as well! (I've never done it) but I love to watch it! I do miss the open top prototypes as well. It seemed like one year they all realized the same aero benefits(or regularions...) and moved to the closed cockpit. Ahhh yes, the old red and white vipers, with the yellow lights!

Where's everyone from?
I currently live about 45 minutes east of St. Louis, MO and I work downtown STL. I've lived here for almost all of my life but both my parents are from upstate NY(the pretty part of the state). I live in a small town of about 10,000 people.

You want me to cool it with the videos? Ill understand. I'm joking about the server strain... it doesn't really hurt anything there. But people browsing on mobile may not appreciate it. We like videos... just perhaps keep it to when really needed to make your point or discuss something. Olds..he kind of love videos.. hahaha

Le Mans 24Hr 2015
I LOVE this kind of racing. I love the 4 different classes all racing at the same time. There is so much high end tech with the prototypes and then "street turned race" in the lower GT classes. I actually just wish they raced more ad it was covered better, more like NASCAR was covered. I understand that is unrealistic but that's what I want..lol Oh jeez.. the AF Corsa Ferraris.. I agree with you Susimi. They are always causing accidents. I feel like more than the two incidents in the past 3 years than you said also.

Ugh that sucks! That's gotta be frustrating not being able to detach from the job on your time off. I've found as an adult that I find less enjoyment in travelling to a destination than just having time off at home to enjoy my hobbies. I'm uncomfortable enough just spending hundreds frivolously to have "fun" on vacation, and then I have limited internet access, can't play music (piano/keyboard), and lose all the privacy and amenities of my sweet "man cave" at home in exchange for the constant forced shared space. I guess I'm weird in that way. Man, I feel the same exact way! No, you're not weird at all. I feel the same way about vacations..

Gun Enthusiasts Thread
Nice choice. A buddy of mine has an M&P .45(full size, wouldn't carry that) and it's a pretty sweet firearm. I've only shot it once but it's awesome. Sounds stupid but, what color are you getting? I only ask because my friend got his in desert tan and looks awesome. I didn't know if they made it in OD green as well or just black and desert tan.

favorite vehicle?
I have two friends that have these. One Vert and one Coupe. ..dicks.. lol I'm not a vert fan at all but These with the roll bar still manage to look tough to me. Are your friends' Mystics as well?!? ..one day I'll have one.. once they are considered classics probably. Both Mystics, yes. One (vert) is stock except intake, smaller pulley, and cat-back. The Coupe has a bigger blower, full bolt-ons, etc. Made like ~670whp as of last dyno. BOTH MYSTICS?!? F your friends man.. Hahaha 670rwhp.. that's just nuts. Badass, but nuts. As much as I'd love to build a bamf Terminator, I would be content with the 390hp with exhaust. Borla's(with an off road x-pipe) if money weren't an issue.

Motorcyclist vs Truck Hick (Warning: NSFW Language)
I saw this the other day on the ole facebook. I'm extremely curious as to what happened before any of this. Because from all I saw is the truck deserved the head butt. No reason to be in the other lane like that then get out and get in the other guys face, which is why I'm curious about what preceeded this incident. All while saying he has kids in his truck as he locks up the brakes in reverse, hypocrite much? Well they look trashy as F anyway. I wouldn't have expected anything less.

LOL actually, you get ads based on your browsing history. I don't choose the ads. Hahaha that's hilarious! I've googled "farmer's only" before because I questioned if it was a real thing, it is by the way. For those of you not near farms.. it's an online dating site for, you guessed it, FARMERS! Hahaha So.. now it makes me curious why I have these dating sites ads on mah phone!

day road trip + track time, oil & traditions
I can completely understand why people can't get into NASCAR..but I love it. It is the only form of racing(on TV) that they actually bump and make contact without an instant wreck. Okay, I guess motocross is in that group too.. But the competition in NASCAR as opposed to any other form of racing is by far and away the best. The cars aren't the fastest, most aero dynamic, lightest.. but they still rock big american V8s, they will bump into eachother, fights every once in awhile.. Most other forms of auto racing there isn't 1/3 of the field competing for a win each week. There are the occasinoal dominating wins but for the most part there is just great competition.

day road trip + track time, oil & traditions
I've always wished there was a road course within a reasonable drive from where I'm at but all we have here is a bunch of dirt tracks and Gateway Motorsports Park(hey have a drag strip and an oval track the NASCAR truck series and Nationwide series run on. I wish the Cup series would come here.

I was on craigslist for no good reason today and came across this gem of a post. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/5037065595.html It isn't so much the vehicle or anything.. but they took pictures of their phone pictures to use. The person even acknowledged it but it's still funny to me. Classic craigslist.

did it again
Congrats on the new truck and your mileage is absolutely phenominal! My dad's '13 Tacoma(v6 4WD) is nowhere near that. btw, I dig that grey color!

The first thing that comes to my mind when asked is this.. There are faster or better all around cars out there..but this tugs on my heart strings every time.

Yeah I've seen about everything run at the track. Honestly, it is just a blast. There were much much slower cars run than your '09 Civic. If you like speed I would still suggest it. Plus while you're waiting you get to bs with other car guys around you.

Watch a 300-HP Kawasaki H2R Race a Veyron, McLaren 12C, 1350-HP GT-R
If it was anything like my dad old bike he brought back after a 15 year hiatus it really wasn't worth the money. The most expensive part was actually the front forks. The pitted over the years and there's no way of fixing them or replacing the seals because the tiny pits just reripped the seals. It actually scared the F out of my once because randomly they acted really funny(because they don't have the same amount of oil, pressure) and I got a really nasty tank slapped at like 60mph for no reason. After that I was done with it. But that kind of thing is definitely fun to tinker around with. Old bikes just don't have the parts availability that cars do so they tend to be kindof expensive for stupid things.
