sounds like the can / am series drolove, which everyone knows was probably the greatest series in motorsport, ever.. idk why formula one has gotten away from ingenuity and now each car has to fit into the same x, y, and z axis, and thinking outside of the box gets frowned upon.. no longer will we ever see such creations as the six wheeled tyrell, or the fan car, or the side skirted lotus, nope, now it's basically 22 identical cars, all with different liveries, and that's a shame imvho..
It's funny how they all look the same but teams like williams, sauber, caterham and the like are so much slower than merc and red bull. It really is still about who has the best aero package because I'm sure once RB sort out their power unit issues they'll be the ones to beat AGAIN. Shame really.

ahh, idk about the williams being too much slower, they actually are looking really good this season imo.. if bo77as would stop getting penalties and getting pushed back up the grid, i can see him getting a podium soon.. he had a great race in aussie, right up until he hit the wall that is, lol.. still, he hit the way, got a flat, pitted, and came back out pretty much back of the grid, and still finished in i think it was like 6th or so, and up till then, he was pushing alonso for 5th.. i'd love to see williams doing well again, when i first started watching f1, 96, williams were the team to beat, plus i have a soft spot for sir frank and all he's been through..
i think this season is more about the power plant then straight out aero like usually, as that mer is rumored to be a good 75 hp up on the next manufacturer, who i think would be the ferrari's ..

hey shim, what did you think of massa not pulling over to let his team mate go by?? people are saying massa should have just pulled over, but i say eff that, it's racing.. if bo77as was faster, he'll find a way around, other wise, i'm not pulling over.. it'd be one thing if it were towards the end of the season, and bo77as was fighting for the wdc, but this is only the second race in ffs... also, how did the expect bottas to catch button when he couldn't even get around massa?? idk, i'm on a bunch of f1 fan pages on fb, and tons of people talking shit saying how he should have pulled over.. i just read an interview with sir stirling moss, and moss said the same thing i did, no way in hell he'd ever pull over for a team mate, unless it were written into the contract, and if it were, he'd never sign it, lol..
i'm getting tired of damned niki lauda running his mouth too.. i was too young to remember him from his time in f1, so i never really cared about him in one way or another, but damn, i can't stand looking at him in the merc pits all the time, like his shit don't stink, and wtf exactly does he bring to the team, i'll never understand.. he's the one who pushed out ross too imo, which i think was a huge mistake.. oh well, i could talk f1 all day obviously, but i'll shut up now..

If I was an F1 driver, I would have done the same thing massa did. If he wants past then he'll just have to make his way past. Also, what a race last night. Was on the edge of my seat pretty much the entire time. How about Maldonado, blows me away that guy is allowed in F1.

i thought this was a pretty sweet video. forget those corny canna-influenced wheels someone posted earlier, how about a nice slick set of carbon fiber wheels for your ride??
these things are sick, capable of 280 mph, and the fronts weigh in at 5.9 kgs.. :D anyhoo, pep this..

lol, i completely agree.. nothing like putting a big x mark on the side of your car telling every cop that sees you to pull you over and search your car for drugs.. talk about being late everywhere you go...
Yeah..def. wouldn't want to be carrying unless totally legal, which where I live entails a locked box that should be fastened to the cars floor and also be in the trunk and it better not have more than 2.5 oz's in it.

I'll stick to my fam van, it doesn't even draw a look from em..:)
