Have fun at Bristol. Never been able to go. Yet. I'm jealous.
I just don't if it's the crowd at Indy but the weekend is pretty boring before the race. I hope it's better at Bristol. I usually try to do my part but I'm slowing down the older I get. Now I only bring 2 cases of beer with me for the weekend, use to need at least 3 cases just for Friday night and saturday(I'm usually the DD on raceday).

You have "thought globally" already. Unless you don't own a TV or even the very computer you are on to be a member here.

And if you think things are bad now, just imagine if the US started severing ties with other countries becuase of "trade imbalance". And the US isn't innocent of this either. ( oh, and I'm not ragging on the US, they are the best neighbors in the world to have )



So then people shouldn't have the freedom of choice when buying something that they believe is the best for their money?
Yes, but it doesn't hurt sales when they win. It's going to help somewhere. Honda uses racing as ad promoting as well, remember the gay "every Honda has a Honda engine" commercials? Villeneuve was on there a few times.

How do you suppose a trade imbalance solution would hurt North America? The Chinese are very heavily reliant on selling us their crap and it helps them to have soft borders to ship across. It's not just cars by any means, it's everything. Look at the bottom of your coffee mug, chances are it's chinese. That's the problem, cars are just a big expensive item that dwarf's all other products. People want to save money at any cost. People I worked with bought Foreign cars and were first to bitch that they became laid off, go fu<king wonder idiot. It was going to happen anyways but you didn't help the cause. Another retard (quintessential polish stereotype) said to me that North Americans need to start thinking like European's instead of gas guzzlers. He's so pro euro it's funny. I looked at him and said it's because we think this way you have a job dummy. We built the 5.4's. Oh ya, he says, I roll eyes. Ya, he's right but until that time, it keeps food on his table.

Yes, any tundra owner could be an F1 driver.

Yeah.. It wouldn't be the first time... or the second time... or the third time.. or maybe not even the fourth time. There has been an explosion of posts in the Tundra section of them bitches complainin about their Tundras getting keyed. I replied to one informing them that they are driving the most hated truck on the road and to get used to it . I also posted in a "Driving music" thread in which people were posting types of music they listen to while driving, I explained to them that a friend told me all Toyota drivers listen to Madonna .

What are you seriously 16?

How is the Tundra the most hated truck on the road? What did the Tundra ever do to you that you think the truck deserved to be keyed? You act like the Tundra killed your mom and raped your sister. Its just another truck on the road man, chill out. You should really thank Toyota, maybe next year Ford will have a 400hp, 6spd F150 that gets 20mpg too. Competition is great.

Don't you find it somewhat ironic that you are labeling someone else here a troll, and yet you are complaining you got booted from Tundrasolutions for doing EXACTLY the same thing?

Just wondering...
